Deep freeze

Water in liquid form, has a spherical shape, but when frozen, becomes angular at the top and in some instances, ice crystals begin to form (Source). Last winter we had some warm rainy days that were followed by a cold snap, causing dripping water on the handrails of an underpass to freeze in time. The photos below are the effects of this amazing natural phenomenon.

Today as the temperature drops drastically from +2C to -22C, I brace myself for several upcoming days of deep freeze. Despite the cold, Trudi the dog will have to go out and as my better half has escaped the city for the week, I am out of excuses to stay indoors. So with eyes on the look out and hand warmers intact, dare say there could possibly be more opportunities to continue with this series of images.

Hoop, Leifde, en Fortuin

The apartments of Hoop, Leifde en Fortuin, or Hope, Love and Fortune, is named after 3 windmills situated in the area in the 17th century. It is located on the north side of the Rietlanden district, an area which is a turning point between the city and the Eastern Docklands.

The housing complex was designed by architect Rudy Uytenhaak and consists of overlapping planes coated with different materials, including the black spots near the windows which is an artwork of Willem Oorebeek.
