first pring suburb s-Hertogenbosch Netherlands 800 am 260208_0073

Yes, spring is coming to the neighbourhood.
Through-roads streets and ditch in a suburb of the Netherlands on a early winter day in February.
Traffic and birds around in bushes, trees, air and the ditch.

About the picture
A residential area where everything is spacious and well laid out. The sky is light grey with soft clouds, making the daylight feel diffuse and calm. It is chilly outside; the tree in front of you has no leaves, so its branches stand out as thin lines against the sky. In front of you is a ditch that runs horizontally across the scene. There is grass on the side of the water, but it still looks a bit wintry. Across the ditch, a row of cars is parked along a quiet street. Behind them, you can see residential buildings that look typically Dutch: sleek, modern, rectangular, with light bricks and large windows. They stand in a neat row. In the distance to the left, you can see the outlines of the city centre.
