Westerpark is the place where I go whenever I need a long walk to clear my mind. On the last day of January — a grey, rainy day — I needed one of those walks. Ignoring the rain, I walked around the park and was surprised to witness already a few signs of spring. The winter scenery is slowly acquiring a bit of colour and this is always a happy moment for me.
Looks lovely, doesn’t it?

Westerpark is really nice. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there. I really should go back
It is nice. And I don’t know if you ever went there in April, when the cherry trees are in full bloom? It’s amazing!
