    Ohhh lucky you!! That mist and lighting are spectacular, and to think you were barefoot! Sounds a lot like Paradise my friend )

  • Mel Brackstone replied

    lol thanks. I wasn’t barefoot by choice, my boots were soaked the night before. Air temp was close to zero, but the water was around 27°C, which is why I stayed in the water as much as possible! My feet didn’t really feel warm again for a day or two :)
