Fairytale scene in Leiden, where the Herengracht has completely frozen over and two skaters cross the quiet waterway. The winter sun casts a soft glow over the white ice, while the historic facades and bridges provide a picturesque backdrop to this enchanting scene. The skaters leave their joyous marks on the frozen canvas, and the city seems to enjoy a moment of serene stillness. This photo captures the magic of skating on the canals and brings the poetry of winter to your living room.
