Wintertime at Marken

It was cold. Too cold! But this was the ideal opportunity for me, as a landscape photographer, to take landscape shots of a frozen Markenmeer. So on to Horse of Marken!

With two socks, two sweaters and two trousers, a hat, mittens and a scarf I was armed against the cold. And still I thought to feel the cold. These northeast winds… It feels like -20 degrees… But it was worth it!!!

The Markenmeer seems like a little bit on small Antarctica. Everywhere you looked ice, ice and more ice. With the lighthouse at the head of the peninsula of Marken, the Horse of Marken. A beautiful sight! A sight never to be forgotten…

Walking on the ice, enjoying the sunset. What needs a landscape photographer more?

One thing is certain. God’s creation is wonderful to see!
