While I haven't been living here in Groningen for a full year just yet - but getting breath-takingly close - I have been here now long enough to see the full seasonal range from the little porch we have, with its view of the Oude Winschoterdiep canal and two towering apartment buildings. It's almost impossible to resist using them in any photos I take of the volatile weather (but usually a little cold and a little rainy). I've said it to anyone who will listen over the past year, that when the light here is bad, it's bad - almost a total absence of light - but when it's good, it's transcendental and Rembrandt-esque.
