Frozen

I walked on the frozen Lielupe River today.  The sun came out right after noon and it was beautiful.  Quite a few people were sitting right in the middle of the river -- fishing, I guessed....  So I found my way to the river's edge and followed someone walking on the ice -- if he didn't fall in I thought I'd be safe.  I made it a third of the way out and there was a man sitting on something, maybe a cooler.  He had made a few holes in the ice and was waiting there with a line down one of the holes.  I felt a little bad taking this picture... maybe I invaded his space, but I'd never seen ice fishing before -- so beautiful.

And then I thought... "I'm the one who doesn't belong here, and I don't know what I'm doing on the ice, I better retrace my steps..."  So I did.
