Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Great shot, Lorraine. I get a kick out of that trailer shed. Fishing must be really good where you live.

@Michael Skorulski: LOL amazing shack isn't it? Thanks a lot Michael, I think it's more for sport, I don't think the water is pure enough for fodder :)
Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Great shot, Lorraine. Love how the DOF just fades off into a blue/gray/white and your title is perfect!
2 Mar 2008 10:53am
@Ron: Thanks a lot Ron, seems to me the Ice is endless :)
@Daroru: Great question Daroru, maybe winterized it? lol
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Decisions, decisions! Where do you think the fish are? Great shot, Lorraine. Is it snowing again?
2 Mar 2008 11:22am
@Betty: Exactly Betty, my decision-process making goes like this: To Got Out, Or To Not to ;) It's stopped snowing to make way for minus 20, but now it's warming up to make way for freezing rain, and I kindyou not lol
Craiger from Vacaville, California, United States
Looks a tad bit cold for camping! Nice shot!

MJ from Delaware, United States
Great shot... it looks so cold.. no wonder they need shelter... The hide away ...
2 Mar 2008 1:19pm
@MJ: Thanks a lot MJ, well thanks to them I get a shot, but i wouldn't go out ice fishing shelter or no shelter lol ;)
@chris chisu: You got the right idea Chris lol
@Elle: Thanks a lot Elle, title's can make a photo n'est-ce pas? ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
I like how you framed this Lorraine and how you included the bench. That is some ice shanty creation.
Have you seen the new blog watch feature using the eye icon to the right of your photo?
2 Mar 2008 2:38pm
@Barbara: Thanks a lot Barbara, isn't it though lol no, I have to keep an eye (no pun intented) out for features, it just takes me so long to visit everyone I want to visit that i don't make the time...I will though, thanks for the notice ;)
@kurt: I'm with you there Kurt lol
Janice Thomson from Courtenay BC, Canada
I too like how there's no defining horizon yet in all that space they chose to be only a few feet from shore LOL
Perfect title for this one mon amie.
2 Mar 2008 2:49pm
@Janice Thomson: They aren't entirely foolish lol thanks so much dear Janice ;)
@DaveB: I think it's great Dave, they fish, I take a photo ;)
@soco: Thanks a lot Soco :)
@soco: and how very nice of you to comment twice ;)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I never could get into ice fishing. Did it as a kid and standing around freezing your butt just isn't as much fun as it looks.
2 Mar 2008 4:39pm
@Michael Rawluk: Hey Michael, I can't even get into summer fishing, but I sure loving taking photos of those who do ;)
bm from Budapest, Hungary
Nothing like some good ole' ice fishing on the forzen Ottawa river. I remember seeing those guys every winter while I lived there.
2 Mar 2008 4:48pm
@bm: lol thanks bm, I just hope they keep on doing it, and I'll keep on shooting them :)
isabel from Lisbon, Portugal
Wish we could have such beautiful landscapes like this one in Portugal! Well, we got the wonderful sea :)
That was a great shot Lorraine. Love the blue shades.
2 Mar 2008 5:19pm

@Ana Lúcia: Hey Ana L. Thanks a lot, ps I can't spell Lucia properly because I can't find the accent on the u...what's the character you use?

@Rebecca: Thanks sweet Rebecca, back yet? I love people who got out so that I can take photos of them lol
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Great shot! Fishermen will do whatever it takes to pursue their finned prey. BTW, Snook season opened at the beach, Friday midnight. No ice to cut through.
2 Mar 2008 10:36pm
@Viewfinder: Rub it in, why don't you...You better put up the photo mister...;)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
ok L babe,what are YOU doing there?!This place looks kinda deserted to me...or maybe its the snow's fault!Is it Christmas already?--CCCCCC--a virtual hot cuppa for you:)
3 Mar 2008 1:49am
@tyan: Thank you sweetie, I needed that! Well, when it keeps on getting colder and colder and snowier and icier, it cheers me up to take photos, behind the lense, nothing can hurt me ;)
@Martine Lapointe: Allo Martine, c'est exactement ça, en fait ma raison d'être ;)
Photographs by M.E. from Encino, United States
Lorraine, ice fishing is Greek to M.E. nevertheless it is a your "ok that's a good spot" is a great shot! (ice fishing or not...)
3 Mar 2008 4:24am
@Photographs by M.E.: Lovely comment M.E. thank you, right now, right this moment, I totally wish it were Greek to me to ;)
Bonj from Jefferson City, United States
I am sure they are talking about where they should go for dinner instead of waiting around for the fish to bite. Of course the plus is that they don't have a problem keeping the beer cold. :-) Nice shot.
3 Mar 2008 5:15am
@Bonj: You are a very wise person, my bet is they're heading for McDonald's ;) thanks a lot!
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
I must say.....those two are addicts!!! Otherwise.....why stand on the ice for hours just to get some miserable fish?! Even fishes stay put in winter!
3 Mar 2008 5:19am
@Japanalia: I personally don't have a clue, but I hope they keep on doing it, it makes great photos ;) Thanks a lot Gabriela...
ManuelaR from Hainburg, Germany
Boy, you must really like fishing to go through all that trouble and cooooold... ;)
3 Mar 2008 9:25am
@ManuelaR: Maybe they have no television, that's the only thing I can figure out lol thanks a lot Manuela ;)
@Betsy Barron : www.thebetsy.com: Funny I had the exact same reaction ;)
@HorseRotorVator: Apparently...nuts or what? lol
