Feel free to add (without any time limit!) your latest reflection on an A-word: What is actually your most important word with the letter A? America, Africa, Antarctic? Anxiety, anger, aggression? Automobile, A-bomb, armchair? Adoption? Adventure? Acrobatics? Affliction or Adoration? Antenna or Atomium? In our last photo challenge with the focus on the letter A some had the focus on animals or angels, attention or accomodation, on airplanes or archways, on Alleyway, Azalea or “Ainhoa”…

No, sorry, asked the question badly! Doesn’t the frozen water damage the hulls?

wander-lust is a German word by the way, the lust to wander – mostly in woods, not in big cities – but it spends lust to wander in Amsterdam nevertheless …

I’ve never been in the snowy cold, but have always enjoyed wandering your beautiful city – never by bike I’m afraid – way too scary, but the city’s made for walking. Wonderful.

I’m going to post this with the A word being “Asleep”. This was an amazing day as it had been completely cloudy and stormy. Suddenly the clouds broke through and the sight was a brilliant contrast—sun where I was, storm clouds in the distant. It lasted only a minute. So glad I had the camera! It was like the sky was asleep and suddenly awakened.
Enjoy!
