With temperatures well below freezing, and with hands barely able to manipulate camera settings I came across this scene.
I had initially followed the lady as she strode out onto the frozen lake, axe in hand to cut a hole in the thick ice.
After immersing herself in the frigid water for a number of minutes she climbed out, retreating to the shore after hastily dressing.
With snow continuing to fall I too retreated to my awaiting car, the heater on full blast to regain sensation in my frozen fingers.
