December 23rd 2009

Just before Christmas a good cover of snow in the Netherlands made the landscape look nice and white. Although opportunities were few I managed to get outdoors in the evening of the 23rd. Since two years now I had been hoping to make an image of a cold winter landscape with a moon to finish it off. Well, I got lucky and this trip in the cold paid off. Not only was there the snow I had hoped for with accompanying moon, the weather gods were good to me by adding a touch of early frost on the plants. In the moonlight this all added to a spectaculair landscape sparkling in the moonlight. A real touch of magic.
