Wonderful winter! Ice fun! Skaters on the ice of the Catharijnesingel in Utrecht. In February and early March 2018 there was a flap of fierce winter cold over the Netherlands. Eventually, on 2 March 2018, everyone went into the ice en masse. This picture was taken near the Bartholomew Bridge. On this side of the bridge the ice was almost empty, while half of Utrecht was on the other side of the ice.
Maybe a picture like this can't be taken later. In the renovation of the inner city, the Catharijnesingel will be completed and reopened and then the inner city will be completely surrounded again. The water will then flow and it will be more difficult for ice to form. That's why I was on the ice for this picture because I could still do it.
