Winter In Holland

It's Almost Christmas and we got a bit of Winter in Holland this week.

DAYTIME


Santa was on the Langstraat in Wassenaar. behind him is a tent where they were selling Gluhwein, a hot german concoction. We have had our fill of Gluhwein this year.....thats for sure.


The mist rolling in off the North Sea froze as the temperatures fell over the past couple of days. The effect was spectacular. All the trees were covered in a coating of white icing.



This is just outside of outr house looking down Rijksstraatweg.



Looking out at a tree behind the back yard.



Another back yard tree.



A close up of the bushes in the back yard.




Turbo the Teckle in our back yard. THis may be the only time the dog sees snow until we return home.


NIGHT TIME



A winter's full moon.


A shot of the stars in Leiden across a canal at night.






After dinner outside of the Grande Cafe Stadhouder.
