An illuminated landscape


On the first day of Christmas, between rain and wind and darkness, suddenly there was some sun in the afternoon. The perfect time to go outside for some fresh air.




















The light was sharp from under huge clouds. Colors were deep and saturated.






Blue sky reflected in the water.



















































Overhead these geese were probably going somewhere warmer.



























The paths were muddy and soft.








































Sometimes the light was blinding turning colors almost into black and white.













There were wet patches in the floodplains of the river, but the water in the river Rhine was not yet high enough to flow over the low summer dikes.












































Soon enough the clouds came back in full force. On he way home, the last sun fell on the mossy green trees.
This lovely afternoon was already gone and turned into another early evening.
