[Leica] Ice at Christmas

[Aram Langhans]

Thanks Peter.  I know what you mean.  A few Februarys ago, my wife fell into Mirror Lake when she slipped on the ice taking photos.  Not too wet, but still scared me, as it was a mile back to the shuttle, and then an up to 30 minute wait there.  It was about 20F outside at the time, so instead of waiting we just walked the extra mile back to the campground and to dry clothes and a heater in our van.   We were joking about it as we took ice photos this year, and being extra cautious at the same time.

Those are some gorgeous ice pictures!  Keep your boots on tight and your hiking poles in at least one hand!
