Refreshing Dip

We Finns love sauna and beside that we love to dip ourselves in icy water! Today the temperature in Lake Pyhäjärvi was -2C (28F).

Those blue tones make this Southern California girl shiver!!

Wonderful Finnish scene, brings memories of my Uncle Matti's sauna. When I finally get around to building my own I will have to settle for a snow bank!
Will Hoskins19-Feb-2015 20:09
The sauna, yes. The Icy water, I'm not so sure. The blue tones enhance the feeling of cold. V

He must have a heated bathing suit, a brave man and a nicely captured scene.
Tomorrow morning we will be at - 17C.

Beautiful touch of warmth in this frigid capture. V

East Coast USA (Boston and more) have had to deal with these extreme temps and cold. California 70's to 80 lately, we are spoiled. I like the sun peeping through the clouds, breaking up the cold blue snow.

Anitta you are a very good example of this healthy lifestyle..... But it will take more than that, to convince me to plunge into the icy waters.
Julie Oldfield19-Feb-2015 03:42
Great soft light and composition. I don't think I could do that. V
Charlene Ambrose19-Feb-2015 01:02
Lovely photo, Anitta. I would stick to an indoor sauna!
Marcia Rules19-Feb-2015 00:21
I'll take the sauna (just like our summers)! V

Yikes, not sure I could do that! Nice photo though. v
globalgadabout18-Feb-2015 23:23
captivating...a resolute spirit amid those challenging conditions...this resonates deeply...V

I love cold temperatures; however, there's no way you'd get me to take a polar bear plunge!!!
Great capture Anitta! V
Tom LeRoy18-Feb-2015 21:27
Wow, beautiful scene and it really looks cold.. I like the blue tones also. I'll pass up the dip though! V

I think the photographer has the better end of this deal. A very beautiful image with nice soft colors. I like the mood the light blue color sets and the warm colors in the sky as a contrast. I also suspect he will be blue when he gets out. Did you take an after the dip photo? Voted
Al Chesworth18-Feb-2015 20:20
Here in UK most of us are not quite that daft.
Colin Storey18-Feb-2015 19:15
Very brave. Lovely image with those sky colours also. v
LynnH18-Feb-2015 18:52
I can't even imagine going outside in this cold weather. I do love the sauna... but no cold for me, thank you. LOL V
John Hamers18-Feb-2015 18:34
Beautifully composed image of this winter scene !!V

Very nice photo but there is no way... Vote.
Neil Marcus18-Feb-2015 18:11
I get goose pimples just thinking about it. You have such glwing skin in your pictures. Do you go into icy waters?
a lovely picure, Anitta
