On the Ice

I spend majority of the day on ice, as it might be one of maybe three days this whole winter when the conditions are this perfect and ice solid enough. I wasn't the only one out there, as you can see, and people were over the moon about this sunny winter wonderland Saturday.

I first went skating and then chucked the skates back home and switched to walking and stalking. I caught a few really fun and heartwarming moments with my camera, it's rare to see Finnish people this openly happy so I had to make sure to capture it. I hope you enjoy.

Shot with the Nikon D7200 and Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8.

ice2.jpgThis was hilarious! They were sliding the baby back and forth on the ice, and she was clearly enjoying it.

ice4.jpgDogs were well represented on the ice, but these beings were the most majestic of them all.

Sporty dog is sporty with the sporty human.

Last rays and last people.

These pictures make me really want to try getting on the ice!
I've got to migrate now! :D

That's cool how you Finland People groom your polar bears.

It’s lean times like you can see, the polar bears have been affected more than most.

Yeah but they're still cute.

Awesome! I love the silhouettes in the second one. Outdoors hokey! I don't know if I'll ever see that.

It's pretty cool :)

You caught the perfect day perfectly.

Thank you! I had perfect fun taking these.

That was a nice lake to have a casual stroll on, and you got some nice pics from there! :D

I really enjoyed these pictures!
