In this photo, we see people walking on a frozen canal. According to friends and locals, snow in Groningen happens once every 10 years.
As a Canadian, I did not find this shot particularly exciting or special at the time because this is a common activity to do during winters back home. Whether it's frozen ice hockey or commuting to work on the Rideau Canal, it really didn't speak to me.
Now almost 3 years later, it has become one of my favourite street photography shots taken on my year abroad.

YC Captures (aka Yousef) is a Canadian documentary and street photographer. What had began partly as a quarantine project, his passion for photography and telling stories have now become a full-time curiosity. He is a well-travelled street photographer and is incessantly curious about discovering new and intriguing stories to share. During his studies abroad in the Netherlands, Yousef quickly fell in love with the cities and small Dutch towns which offered a completely different urban landscape compared to his home in Ottawa, Ontario. Some of his best photos stem from the streets of Utrecht, Groningen, and Leiden. He hopes to continue to travel the world and document urban landscapes as well as rural paths off the beaten track.
