Ice fishing

And so we continue with some pictures from when me and my brother did ice fishing one of the days.
We took the snowmobiles and drove 5-10km downstream Kalix River to a place where big perch gather during the spring.
Unfortunately, the weather was really bad, with fog and low pressure so there were no perch. If you didn't know this before, they are very sensitive to low pressure and then they just sulk at the bottom.
Anyhow, we kept trying for few hours and we got few but it they were really small. More suitable for the cat food :) than anything else. After drilling the 7th hole, we gave up and went home. It is not the easiest to drill 15cm diameter through 70ish cm blue ice.
The weather just got even worse when we driving back home, sad without the perch dinner I was so looking forward to :(

Frosty morning

Yesterday I set off early on, I would shoot birds at my bird feeder located in woods near Rivelin Valley.
It was still pitch black when I arrived, which was good because then I could set up the camera and camoflauge before the sun rise otherwise if you do it while it is light, so perhaps the birds not dare come forward they've seen that something is fishy.
Then I sat down to wait for the birds would begin to show up, but it took almost an hour before they came and then I had already started to freeze. It can become so when sitting still for a long time in the cold :)) It was just to pack the  stuff and go from there, I went up to a steep where I had good views of the valley, and there I photographed some leaves, grass that had a fine layer of frost on them. But I had not quite right lens to it, because I had only a large zoom with me. But I took some pictures anyway.

Photo equipment i used: D3s and nikon 200-400mm f4 lens
