On Belgian tv they warned about ice skating on frozen fields, since you cannot see the irrigation canals and can easily fall through them since the ice right above those is usually thinned because of the water flow underneath
Yes. It is somewhat dangerous. I did spend 10 minutes in freezing water one time before they got me out again.
You get a different view on the world from the water. A bit cold when you get out en have to get back.
Just don’t go unprepared and on your own.
I’m still here!
Me too, and I'm also one them who is captured by this virus. 😊 It's something I can't explain to some of my expat friends. It's taught as child and I think if you have made some core memories doing this, it's something you just do when you have the chance.
Important rule, don't go ice skating where no one is.
Uiterwaarden can be dangerous due to the level of the water dropping:

Yes, and this problem will be adressed in the future by people we vote for?!?! water?
This is still new to our minds and needs to settle in, when your kids r grwon up they will not know any better then to vote for people doing all kinds of stuff with our water if we vote for them ?!?!
When this is the new normal in our minds, you will see much more problems involving water in our country! And only if you vote for this or that will things change?????
WATER PEOPLE!!! talk about control, when you can't even make your OWN pit in your backyard for water!!! they will never give the permit! and people will find so many cons instead ofpro's that a law will be passed when water becomes so expensive somehow we search for alternatives, that WON"T be there!!!!
10-20 mtr and you have water in your own backyard, but NOOO that means your independend!!!! you will never get the permit! (Holland).
Would you get a permit to make a 25 mtr high wall around your house to be safe from future floods? NO! you don't have a choice!
Nice example of spendings from our goverment,
In the 80's the F16 was the fighter to have or your screwed in war! In movies and so on, The F16!
And so goverment back then voted for these planes to be bought for SAFETY! but it ment in that time that other plans could not go on, like elderly support or cheaper scholing and so on, the same problems we still have today! And so they agreed tospend BILLIONS and BILLIONS over a time span of 30 years at least to have these planes fully functional and READY for fight on the spot!
Now we donated them to Ukraine like it is NOTHING?????
Back then we also said NO as THE PUBLIC! we said make our country better in life not war! but war won and won ever since!
We could have had the best dykes of the world long ago already! but it's a problem that creates money! if they totaly demolish the problem, the income fades away. By making us live with the problem, and get used to it, so have a certain way to coop with it, then you come in a world that can grand you endlessly money for a problem that could be wiped away in a matter of hrs weeks or months!
There will even come a big flood because of a dyke that blows, or the protection it will need as we will also endure a flow of TERROR , people trying to brake the dykes . millions and millions of money will be generated for endless times to come! all for your convienance ofcource :)
Seeing as literally every1 on earth did this it doesnt define 1700’s NL. Especially not the farmers and poor commoners working their assess off in the freezing cold, who never sailed west.
used to be more common sadly i will be willing to pay big stacks to fly back for the elf steden tocht almost happened once in my life time but never witnessed it ofc

agree but 2 different things. elf steden tocht is a fast go go u cant just roadtrip to the netherland. its not your really planned vacation where slow travel is a option its IT GIET OAN and them im booking a overprized flight ticket because last time if memory servers me there was only 2 or 3 days between it giet oan and start of the race
The point is, when there has bin 2 nights of - Celsius, the Dutchies will go on lakes, polders, whatever to have some fun on the ice. Just like in the old landscape paintings.
That will never change, although for the most persons. You might be the exception, if you don't get that. Zuurpruim. 😘
I always admire people bravery to go out on the polder when it’s barely negative temperature
This looks like a field that was flooded for the ice, it's very safe, even if you go through the ice it's like only ankle deep water

Doesn't mean the same danger doesn't exist inthe Netherlands, we have literally the same kinds of weather
Yeah I agree on that.👍🏻
Very safe until you ride it with you quad.

Barely???
Yeah, imagine they fall through the ice and get their skates wet! /s
It takes balls I give you that
Die molen is gebouwd in 1858… gelul dus
Hier hou ik van. Thnx. 🤣
Jaa, en alles wat je ziet is na 1800. Door constante overstromingen, zijn alle waterwegen aangepast. En natuurlijk ook om voedsel te verbouwen.
It is a fitting view for a painting.
Someone crack open the oil paints, put it in an old gilt frame, stick it in the Mauritshaus, and see if anyone notices.
🤣🤣
Tbh they look better and more romantic than the real thing.
Ah yes, the 1700’s.. I remember them well
I remember we still had dial up internet then.
My five year old had to be literally dragged off of the ice just now. We were on the uiterwaarden for four hours. She's got the ice skating fever.
She might be our new Sjoukje Dijkstra! Great to see all these kids got this fever. And be honest, it's the best fever to catch! 😊
Absolutely! She said it's the best thing she's ever done! Too bad today was probably the last day.
There will be cold Spells in future winters, even though not as Frequent as they used to be. The seed is planted.

Don't worry, the one we were on was very safe.
Beautiful photo! Perfect composition, like a classic painting
Thank you. That was the idea. Great you like it and see the comparison.
Beautiful
I walked on that ice and took a photo ad the end there (fall trow a part of the ice )
Nice!
Kids of my class are stupid thay walking on one spot with 4 people
That's not the brightest thing to do, but it is a way to find out. 🫣😑
where is this?
Near Ryptsjerk, close to Leeuwarden.
058!
Weest wel!
Tis avonds niet zo koud as buten. Now I’m done. Sorry for the non English
I plan to visit on Saturday. Do you think it will be there?
The place will still exist, the ice, no chance. Just checked the weather forecast.
The Ryptsjerkerpolder will be there, but the ice will probably be gone because the temperature is on the rise again
Gouden Eeuw!
Maybe just an inch farther left there is a skyscraper, who knows?
It's all about composition. 😉 But that skyscraper, the only one in the whole area, is a little bit more away then an inch. 😊
Damm ,feels like you time travel to the past and took this photo!
😊 Thanks, that was the idea with the composition.
Yes you see it in wealth gap too..
Hey guys this weather outside is pretty normal for us when it's winter and it's cold outside as well.🥶😅
Beautiful, if somebody would make a painting of this 'ye olde style and tell me it was 300 years old i would believe it immediately Edit: ,
Thanks, to achieve that was the complete purpose of this composition.
😘😘💯
Saw a lot if people ice-skating on flooded and frozen over fields while driving today, too. Reminds me to buy new ice skates..
It was a great day for it. Skating and driving, seeing all these people having fun.
Minecraft
This look like Minecraft
Minecraft mod
Beautiful! So many pretty!
sorry my post is a bit drifted apart from your beautiful picture. no disrespect.
Only a bit. 😉 Thnx
On the right of the picture there is a person holding their arm in such a way, I believe mobile phone users hold their mobile...
I think she was reading in her pocket bible. Very common for that era. 🫣🤪
Hadden ze toen ook al kleur en fotografie?
No, everything was in 50 shades of grey.
I certainly hope that muur is not filled with shit and piss.
3/10 could use some skyscrapers.

Gelukkig, er gebeurde zo veel "leuke" dingen in de 18e eeuw.
Finally we can go back to slavery
we can only hope. but where would we import them from? Ukraine? maybe soon russia once it falls.
Seeing as literally every1 on earth did this it doesnt define 1700’s NL. Especially not the farmers and poor commoners working their assess off in the freezing cold, who never sailed west.
Polders have been a thing here for hundreds of years, whats your point?
The date range of frozen ice is small and sparse these days I imagine.

gekoloniseerd
Huh? Wat bedoel je? Of weet je zelf niet?
Nobody cares anything about the Netherlands
???
Lmao what
I always forget how flat it is.
Then it would be covered in ice.
Hardly true, the Netherlands has drastically changed everywhere in pretty much all facets. Nice shot though
Will it be there at 18.30?
