This photo shows a winter street in The Hague, where the city seems to have calmed down under an icy silence. The buildings, typically Hague with their stately facades and tall windows - stand as if frozen in time.

A single cyclist glides by, wrapped up against the cold, leaving tracks in the snow. Lampposts cast their light on the misty sky, creating a warm glow in the otherwise chilly atmosphere. The silence of winter turns this urban street into an almost intimate place, as if The Hague is holding its breath for a moment. This photo captures the moment when the bustle of the city gives way to a rare, serene winter calm.
