Late Season Ice Fishing ~ March 18 [6]

New London, Minnesota

I'm always amazed that folks drive on the frozen lakes, particularly this late in the season...

I'm more amazed that they choose to sit on a block of ice with a cold beer!!! Lovely colours, the warmth of the sky against an otherwise frigid scene.

Amazing sky and scene. They must be nuts.

Fred Wilkinson		21-Mar-2006 18:49
Excellent shot in every respect, with a strong narrative. It's hard to believe that this is a voluntary activity :)

Jack Hoying		21-Mar-2006 13:40
Perfect lighting and composition.

Very well done, Greg. Voted too.

joanteno		20-Mar-2006 12:38
Vote - the colors, sharpness, and leading lines - make this excellent shot!

Guest		20-Mar-2006 05:42
Terrific sharpness, contrast and colors ...... Great silver effect of the snow. Also, they look like woody wagons there but not, I see reflections! Excellent capture. Voting.

Many years ago, a flow off of Toledo broke away with 125 cars and trucks. Four hours later, a smaller flow broke off. Fully a dozen of the second group of rescuees had been on the first ice flow. Ice fishing???????

Fantastic shot. Voted. I'd like to be the diver to salvage all the stuff from the bottom :)

Beautiful shot and some rather dumb people. Last week was the last anyone allowed ice fishing shed, ect on the ice. Now if caught it ticket time.

Never mind their lack of brains. It's a beautiful shot. Cool blue evening shadows contrasting with that gorgeous sunset. Magnificent.

Guest		19-Mar-2006 15:09
very nice!! This reminds me of White Bear lake in St. Paul Mn.

Guest		19-Mar-2006 14:32
Excellent image and I like the way the sunset is reflecting off of the the truck in the FG..nicely done Greg...

Herb		19-Mar-2006 14:16
Nice shot

Excellent composition Greg and the sky is gorgeous. I don't understand why they would take a chance of losing their vehicles to the lake just for the thrill of fishing!

Johnny JAG		19-Mar-2006 13:03
That great sky really sets this picture off.

petesie		19-Mar-2006 12:48
Beyond my comprehension...and is that a tent on the left?? The sky is beautiful. Great find, Greg.

ewa toll		19-Mar-2006 12:18
wounderful shot

Karen Stuebing		19-Mar-2006 11:32
Gorgeous shot! Love the sunset and the snow and the tracks on it. These people are crazy though. That's got to be cold! :)

Guest		19-Mar-2006 10:21
Our ice didn't even get thick enough to ice skate this winter. So disappointing. Great shot, Greg.

Jim Ross		19-Mar-2006 08:38
Great shot... Love the sky... Quick way to lose your truck if rhe ice cracks..

Guest		19-Mar-2006 08:20
Like that sky and compo!! So I see that spring isn´t that close... /Anders

Pathfinder		19-Mar-2006 08:11
Looks like the sky is getting ready to melt the ice ;-)

Arno Meintjes Wildlife		19-Mar-2006 08:09
Those guys must be cuckoos. Amazing image.

Coleen Perilloux Landry		19-Mar-2006 07:23
Look at that gorgeous sky and light in this photo! Those cuckoos might not live to eat the fish they caught.

Graham Tomlin		19-Mar-2006 07:20
good picture regards Helen

jypsee		19-Mar-2006 07:15
looks like home....when I was a kid my dad had a great ice fishing shack that he hauled out on the ice every winter and we'd spend the whole night out there watching tip-ups and playing monopoly...great sky in this photo.

Steven Jusczyk		19-Mar-2006 07:05
It will be their best memory in the heat of summer. Nice pastel sky.

laine82		19-Mar-2006 06:59

laine82		19-Mar-2006 06:58
It was late a month ago wasn't it :>) How does one explain a missing vehicle to one's insurance co...LOL!

coaster		19-Mar-2006 06:43
Too cold for this Californian, but nice shot.

shatterbug		19-Mar-2006 06:40
