This was a unique experience for many people. Valentine's Day 2021 was a very cold day, where yet for many it is often a warm day. The canals in Groningen (and possibly many other places) were completely frozen and all over the city people enjoyed fun in the snow and on the ice. The city's most characteristic canal, the A, where all the ships used to be loaded and unloaded, was bustling. Besides, it was a wonderful escape from the lockdown, giving this image an even deeper charge. It conveys a sense of warmth and happiness in a cold time.
