There’s something wonderful about being at the beach in winter, especially when the season is made obvious by the sight of snow, wouldn’t you agree?

The beaches in the Netherlands are wide and stunning, bordered by dunes. It’s always a pleasure to have a stroll at the seaside, breathe the salty air, listen to the waves and watch the seagulls hunting for fish. One day during the magical Dutch winter, I went to the beach at Egmond aan Zee. It was a sunny day after the snowstorm, and the sand was covered in snow and big ice blocks in some parts. The dunes looked like mountains, with their white peeks standing more proud than usual, and a white carpet surrounded the tall dune grass. The landscape looked like from another planet, and I was mesmerized.

I took these pictures in February 2021 at Egmond aan Zee, the Netherlands.
