Beautiful winter day

This afternoon we went for a walk at the River Rhine and it was amazing how fast the river area can change in just one week. The area right beside the river where we walked last week where all flooded and so we had to walk right beside the dyke. The complete beach where Chica learnt swimming last summer was all completely gone, all under water. And now we have Rhine islands again ... small strips of land in the water, greens and browns on silver.


There was a kitesurfer stranded on one of the islands and the whole scenery was eery. I love the Lower Rhine Area with its poplars, and those wide, wide horizons and steel-blue skies.
