Another great picture sent to me by Mike Bruce, taken during his year in the Czech Republic. The story, in his words ....
``The Czechs have an expression: `zima jako v Rusku' or `as cold as in Russia'. The winter we spent in the Czech Republic was just that, with regular daytime temperatures of -15C to -20C and night-time temperatures falling to as low as -30C. The winter saw an awful lot of snow resulting in several roofs collapsing and whole villages losing power, in some cases for weeks. I took this picture at a ski field in the hills of northern Moravia (Czech Republic) just a few kilometers from the Polish border. Our `chalet' was enveloped by a host of these beautiful icicles that grew from the snow that melted during the few sunshine hours each day and froze as soon as the sun disappeared.''

Lovely shot! Thanks for sharing, Mike and David.
Hi Allan,
With all the skiing you've been doing, that's the sort of scene you can identify with, isn't it!
Mike's got some more gat shots up his sleeve, too.
David
