Christiaan Triebert was one of the people who was on our last photowalk in Leeuwarden. He has just posted this amazing photo taken in the last few weeks. It was taken at Potmarge/ Huizumer dorp In leeuwarden.

Nationaal Park Drents-Friese
I have been in touch via Twitter and Flickr with a really good photographer from Groningen called Gwendolen Tee. I really like her photo's but today she kind of blew me a way with this one. It was taken in Friesland and it's an area which I don't visit that often near the border with the next province Drenthe. The National Park Drents-Friese Wold [dutch wikipedia article translated into english with Google translate] is a unique area with sand, grasses, snakes, and a very rich flora and fauna. You can hike or mountain bike around special routes.

Dad-On-Wheels
Ok this photo was not taken in Friesland... but it really made me laugh. A dad on the ice on a segway towing his son along on a sleigh.

Wow! It's the 3rd weekend being able to skate!
Friesland is being treated to ice at the moment and quite a lot of days with sunshine. In fact last month (December 2008) had twice the average sun hours. That does people a lot of good. It's the third weekend being able to skate. We expect it won't last until next weekend. But we've been lucky with such a long spell.
If we are very lucky we might get another cold spell before the end of next month and an 11 city skating tour. They are very rare these days, but that does not stop people from hoping :)

'De Rie' in Gytsjerk/ Giekerk
I got a chance to get out and shoot some photos of the skaters today. fresians love skating and go into a sort of 'cloud 9' when it gets cold. Add sunny days and long shadows. It's beautiful. This photo was taken about 60 to 90 minutes before sundown which explains the colours. We are not expecting an 11 city skate race just yet, but now that the waters are really cold, if we get another good cold spell we could get lucky.

Nearly there - the ice rink
The ice rink in Gytsjerk/ Giekerk is frozen over. Just another day or three and it will be thick enough to skate on.
It's cold here and the folks here are expecting to be able to skate by the end of the week. These kids are on small irrigation canals without skates testing how the ice is
Froukje state
This restaurant, Froukje State, (kind of in the middle of no where ) has just received a Michelin star in November 2008. You can eat there for about 100-150euro p.p. I think it's really cool that we have a place like this near here.

Hoping for ice this year :)
This is a photo I found on Flickr which was taken in Rypstjerk (Rijperkerk). Seemingly taken last year, I only remember there being one or two days when people could skate. Fabulous photo from Paul van Eijden.
