Early Spring Under Ice

Do I have to say much in this post? In Finland we have these public ice holes kept in lakes during winter, where everyone can go for ice swimming. Today I again took my free-diving gear and went to the hole. These days are ones why we live here, for getting mesmerized by the surrounding world 🙂 Look at yourself! The rugged landscape under ice still haunts me in a good way 🙂

There are two schools of free-divers. Other ones use camo and others black wetsuits. I don’t mind about the color of a wetsuit, as long as it is BLACK! 😀
