Nice comp, brave man, from here the ice looks like it is melting !

Guest		10-Jan-2007 23:45
What a catch! Very interesting and well done! (Not very safe this year though...)

Guest		10-Jan-2007 06:45
I like this shot of winter life.

Nice shot with nice colors......the guy is crazy , though ;-)))

Fantastic view

what a brave soul.. yeah we may have ice but it may not be good ice....Good capture of the outdoor season which is Minnesota

Pathfinder		09-Jan-2007 01:38
That looks more like Minnesota I think about. The buckets are full of beer I imagine ;-)

Craig Persel		09-Jan-2007 00:15
Be safe!!

Guest		08-Jan-2007 22:06
Ice has been thin or water here this year. Hope he has better luck! Great shot! vote

Guest		08-Jan-2007 22:05
great shot, I would never see that around these parts. I guess the lakes FINALLY froze!

Bob Foisel		08-Jan-2007 21:05
Looks thin. Nice capture.

Barb		08-Jan-2007 19:46
Thinking is the ice safe. Seems as it would be rather thin yet with the weather we have had. Nice capture.

Rich Westfall		08-Jan-2007 18:43
How thick is the ice, Greg. I'd think that the weather had been warm enough to make it a little thin.

J. Scott Coile		08-Jan-2007 17:48
I would guess the ice is still a bit thin.

bdeane		08-Jan-2007 17:26
Great colors,it sure looks cold, dreary here again...

Naomi		08-Jan-2007 15:01
I've always wanted to try ice fishing. Too warm for it here.

Katie Chew		08-Jan-2007 14:43
Nice capture

Guest		08-Jan-2007 14:01
I like to fish, but not like this. I have an aversion to really cold water. Good capture.

Neal Nye		08-Jan-2007 13:39
Nice how the colors stand out against the white. Looks like the sun was trying to peek out.

Renee Lockett		08-Jan-2007 12:40
Wonderful capture, Greg. Looks like serious work. Love how it appears to be a combination of ice and water up ahead of the driver. Must be quite a skill to know where it's safe to drive that thing on the ice! :)

Guest		08-Jan-2007 12:07
What a sport! ;-)

Guest		08-Jan-2007 11:50
cool nice contrast

Guest		08-Jan-2007 10:00
wonderful, saw a few days ago a report on the t.v ,great.

QUERIDO		08-Jan-2007 07:31
Very nice image, Vote

Dan Chusid		08-Jan-2007 06:43
I need one of those! (I mean an icy lake)

Liz Bickel		08-Jan-2007 06:35
Great capture.

Guest		08-Jan-2007 05:41
Nice capture!

Robin Reid		08-Jan-2007 05:36
Did he catch much ice? ;-)

Guest		08-Jan-2007 04:54
Nice shot..

Karen Leaf		08-Jan-2007 04:23
I've got first dibs for the spring retrievals at the bottom of the lake-all kinds of good stuff there :) V cool shot.

Herb		08-Jan-2007 04:04
It's like a religion :)

Bryan Ramsay		08-Jan-2007 03:50
Nice lens isn't it? Great shot. It looks like the cold is starting to come you way. We were in the 70s yesterday in DC. -BJ

shatterbug		08-Jan-2007 03:22
A trusting lad for sure. I get my frozen fish out of the freezer :-)

Char		08-Jan-2007 03:20
Testing the ice?? LOL Excellent shot Greg. V

Guest		08-Jan-2007 03:20
We were in Michigan's UP this weekend. Those brave enough to set up shanties in Escanaba and Marquette will have a job getting them out of their half submerged state. Looks like You've got enough on your side of the fence.

Brian Lehane		08-Jan-2007 03:19
Ice Fishing??? Is the ice hard to catch?? Nice shot !

Wei O'Connell		08-Jan-2007 03:08
Agree with Cindi. The ice seems not ready yet!

Cindi Smith		08-Jan-2007 02:37
I wouldn't do that if I were him....I hear the ice isn't that thick this year. I hope he doesn't fall in!

s_barbour		08-Jan-2007 02:30
Wow, you actually have ice that is thick enough to go ice fishing? We don't have any ice at all!

Guest		08-Jan-2007 02:12
I guess I will stick to the highway! :)
