This image was made a couple of years ago. It was winter and cold. Very cold. I slipped and stepped in the river before I made this image. Instead of going to my car and changing my socks (or warming up), I decided to stick it out. I don't know if that was the smart thing to do, but I did make an image that I'm very happy with.
