Having fun on a frozen Lake

Luckly we have, what I thought of a hidden a shallow, medium size lake/big pond located only a few kilometers away from my apartment or an hour walk. With freezing temperatures and it's hidden location away from the sun it froze enough to walk on the ice comfortably and even a lot of people went ice skiing on it. The ice was at least 4 fingers thick, was strong and perfect for winter experience, when we almost ran out of snow.

Last two weekends I've spent quite a few hours on the lake with good old buddies, driving very fast, electric RC cars on the frozen lake, walking on ice, and we found a spot for ourselves in the middle of the swamp, where we could slide on the ice, even without any ice skating equipment. Fun times chatting, laughing, having fun, making coffee out there in the nature and most important.. Spending time in, with our beautiful mother nature.


_{Yes.. there was one guy with a quad on the ice with a few cracks and bangs!}

Now two weeks later it's still probably walkable, but the cracks started to show up, a ton of them as it warms up over the days and continues to freeze overnight. We haven't had snowfall ever since temperatures fell, but we still have a bit of it.

That did not stop me today, I listened myself, wanted to go snowboarding, found a spot and went straight to it early from work. I fell many times, only had two fingers of frozen snow to use, but it didn't stop me from enjoying till I ran out of water and decided I will go higher tomorrow on a small local skiing resort, where there is enough snow.

Photos and video's for GIFs were made (failed to upload) with my Samsung Galaxy A52s and a help of GIF maker without any photo editing, nor filters, just pure magic of nature and fun. - how could I add fair quality gifs here?

Thank you kindly for stopping by, wishing you all the best & a great day!
