It snowed yesterday. Not a lot, but it did snow. That’s after that glorious sunshine earlier in the week. I’m not really surprised, though. My birthday is coming up soon enough and I’ve had plenty of occasions over the years to realize that my birthday seems to coincide with truly lousy weather, including snow storms.
This picture wasn’t actually taken yesterday. It was from the real snow storm we had right before Christmas. We had walked along the Nieuwegracht a bit to enjoy the scenery and I finally noticed this rooftop display, which I’d seen in someone else’s photo on Flickr. There’s some lovely detail in the building and the rooftop with the molding and the window tracery. Still, the poor guy looks a bit chilly!
That’s a giant snowball!
Joke aside, it’s a very nice rooftop detail!
That really would be an impressive snowball!
Between the icy loincloth and the extra weight on his orb, I imagine he’s looking forward to spring!
He’s not the only one!
Actually, I’m curious to go back now and see if he’s au naturel or if he is wearing a loincloth.
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the snow yesterday. Could. Not. Believe it.
I had warning that other areas were getting snow, but I was still pretty surprised to see it here in Utrecht.
Darn. You beat me to the snow ball joke Aledys. I have to be quicker next time.
Snowballs, loincloths (or the lack thereof) … all sorts of jokes in this one!
Now you just KNOW that I love this kind of architectural detail… bet he were wishing he were placed somewhere a little more tropical though LOL
