Despite the foggy weather – I haven’t been able to see the Domtoren for about three days now – there are still the sounds of fireworks and firecrackers going off and I’m sure people will still give it a go at midnight for the usual fireworks extravaganza. On this last day of 2016, I thought I’d share a light show of a different sort. These are some of the decorative lights to be found throughout the city, starting at Neude, then heading over to the Stadhuis, and then back toward Janskerkhof.
May your oliebollen be plentiful, your fireworks be safe, and your 2017 be wonderful!
Magical Utrecht as always. Continued success and happiness for 2017 in the heart of the Netherlands. At last the city centre is regaining its magic as the builders start to show results.
It’s interesting to think back on all of the changes I’ve witnessed, yet the charm of the city remains and in some ways has been enhanced. I’m just sorry I’m not going to see the culmination of a few other projects, particularly the restoration of the ring canal.
