The sun is shining – in the blue sky, but also behind the clouds!
Today is the day that has been named Blue Monday. This indication is somewhat negative: it could be possible that the implementation of all “good intentions” made at the start of January has failed, that nice features as holidays and other leisure options seem far away…
I myself have a more positive attitude: the sun is always shining, no matter what and regardless of the amount of clouds floating in front of it. This is my experience over and over again during my hikes which in the past year have been limited to the Netherlands due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope ‘though that I will be able to travel to and in the Alps to continue my journey on the Via Alpina!
Impressions of the sun without clouds, with or behind the clouds in the Low Countries around the year:
-
- Doorwerth-Heveadorp: a winterly sunset at the Lower Rhine with view on the locks near Driel
-
- Heelsum: a nice day in Spring with a view on a bridge over the meandering stream in the brook’s valley near Heelsum
-
- Heteren: view to the north from the dyke on the Lower Rhine and the flood plains on a sunny day in August
-
- Arnhem: on this afternoon in September it is obvious that the sun is also shining behind the clouds!
-
- Arnhem: view on a capital oak tree in Park Sonsbeek of which the treetop is still carrying its green leaves
-
- Wolfheze: through the treetop of an old plane a winterly blue sky is visible
-
- To the north of Mierlo (Northern Brabant): on a December morning the sun rises and shines through the morning fog!
-
- Arnhem: view of the John Frost bridge over the Lower Rhine against a really blue sky on a winter day
