Perhaps it was now time to bring your telelens in play. Yesterday we here in Holland had also some parts were people were skating on nature ice. A big happing. So big that national television put it in their eight o'clock journal. Pity today the temps are above zero again.
ReplyDeleteI like that, we had a little bit of ice here too but not enough to play hockey on it.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the kids out in the fresh air!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy, I will remember that. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow about a bit south? This weekend there is a pond hockey tournament in my town. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteI agree. Lots of pond hockey in New York State.
DeleteOh gosh, it looks like they are walking on water in this shot. I love the reflections.
ReplyDeleteThat's for sure! We definitely don't see it in my part of the US.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you framed them with branches.
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of framing this photo! This is definitely not something I would ever see where I live.
ReplyDeleteYour photo brings back pleasant memories. I grew up in northern Illinois where we played pond hockey mostly on winter weekends, if the ice allowed. Had real hockey sticks, but no net, and our goalie used a push broom for a stick. It was very informal and we all had great fun. Haven't been back on skates in more than fifty years. Winning didn't have much meaning. It was just for the love of playing, so it was a gentle game.
ReplyDeleteYour photos have a quality are very clear.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Good one, Andy!
ReplyDeleteOur outdoor ice is touch and go, sometimes we get a long enough cold snap, but most if the kids play indoors.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very Canadian thing to do!
ReplyDeleteNice shot!
ReplyDeleteFrom the western perspective it certainly is Canadian. I played field hockey in jr. high school but I think that was very rare. I haven't seen hockey played anywhere since (much less by girls). U.S. football? Sure.
Great pic. I almost expect to see a Tim Horten's in the background. ;) We've had some neighbours playing hockey on our lake up here too.. it's fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Massachusetts next to a pond, and on most cold days when the ice was solid, a hockey game would break out. But, not me. I was a basketball player.
