Well spotted Mark, great shot. I had to view large to see the couple.
Method in the maddness. I looked at it cropped but it didn’t have the same feel.

No, guys, don’t do it! You’ll end up looking like prunes!!! ;)
Brrrr… I hope they chose warm hugs, instead. :)
Great shot, M! The black and white shades really help the viewer to feel their anticipation on contemplating the cold depths before them.
From what people were telling me this morning it was actually warmer in the water. Thanks D:)

I am sure they decided to go home and have a cup of tea instead :)
No they actually jumped in. People were saying it was warmer in than out. It was 10c out and our water temp is around 21c. Go figure, I perfer to stay warm and dry.
Thanks Jeanie
