Bare branches

3.29 pm: Oddly shaped tree branches against the gothic Hooglandse Kerk (Highland Church) in the city center this afternoon. I took a walk there to get some fresh air.

The storm hasn't subsided yet. Our younger daughter has been refusing to go to sleep for three out of the last four nights because of the wind howling around the house and the rain hitting against the windows.

A stark looking photo.
I hope the storm abates soon and your daughter sleeps better

Wonderful photo, I love all of it. We've had pretty bad storms here as well - I hope they stop soon so everyone can get some sleep.

Great contrast. I went through a terrible windstorm a few years ago and now have trouble with the wind and rain as well; I can understand your daughter's fear.

I have a difficult time sleeping on windy nights as well.
Those branches are pretty cool
