De Passage (a covered shopping area) has a tree in the center, where the Christmas tree usually stands. A few weeks ago a tree with pink leaves appeared.
It is fake, of course, but still pretty. Since it is in the center, you can see it from far away no matter how you enter De Passage.
In other news… today it was -3C (about 27F). That is actually pretty cold for the Netherlands these days.
Ice rinks open in multiple places in Netherlands after freezing night from nltimes.nl. It is an artificial ice rink, created by spraying many layers of water and letting them freeze overnight.
Dutch skaters out in force to enjoy the ice – before it melts from dutchnews.nl
We will have another day or two of cold before the weather freakishly jumps up to a high of 15C (60F) on Friday. I am sure all of the terraces will be overflowing with sun-starved Dutchies then.
Now that’s a mental image for you!
