OUT ON THE ICE


Fay Lake, Florence County, Wisconsin

Coming back from the annual ice fishing trip with friends I found some fresh snow covering the landscape here in the Little Maquoketa Valley yesterday afternoon. However, it was by far not as much as up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where everything looked like a Winter Wonderland. Unfortunately the sun was covered almost the whole time by a thick layer of clouds. Ice fishing out on the lake can be very busy at times (and it really was!), but the fish did not bite always and gave us enough time to watch the development of the weather. When finally the clouds opened up for a brief moment, I took the camera out of the bag and made the click.
