It has a very surreal feel almost like an abstract painting thanks to the vibrant colors and the totally blurred water and clouds. The wood creates leading lines into infinity, giving it space to breath.

There is a very interesting contrast between a dynamic, stormy sky and the static, frozen water.

Sublime picture!

A strong body wins battles, a strong mind wins the war.

Great quote. When there is a will, there is a way. People often underestimate the power of their mind. It isn't all about physical strength. Another quote that kind of ties in: luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
