Beware of Thin Ice

Today was a beautiful day, although it doesn't look like it here.
This is a skating pond at Rundle Park which was closed because of the thin ice

[Tony]

Interesting capture, it looks as if the ice is actually broken. How thin is the ice when it is ruled to be "too thin" ??

[Diane]

Brrr... Great wintery shot!

[Cathie]

It still looks cold, Brian! Interesting photo!

[Jane Anderson]

It's a beautiful scene!

[Anne ❀]

Pretty winter view. Hope the skating opens up soon.

[Louise & Ken]

Not looking "Skater Friendly"...nice to know someone's looking out for the folks!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Vicki Dixon]

I would love to skate outdoors sometime! in a real pond. but the thin ice is a real worry, glad they keep an eye on it. nicely shot

[Bev]

Nice shot. You can see how thin it is. I think it's only safe for ducks!

[Babs]

A beautiful COLD day. Nice shot.

[KWind]

Looks cold...great composition!

[Brianna]

Beautiful capture, so lovely!

[Terry]

Looks very dangerous

[Gena Pegg]

Oh dear....a skating pond with thin ice. Guess it just needs to get colder? Happy New Year to you!!

[Carole Imes]

Nice catch of that lovely wintery scene. It's a fav for me!

[Graham Thresher]

Super shot.

[Harry J Benson]

[Fisher Family]

This looks a nice place to take a walk. Katharine

[Paula W]

Goodness that looks really, really cold even though you say it isn't cold enough to skate.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful. A nice place for some ice-skating. Only when the ice is thick enough, though.

@tonydebont Well the average for defining thin ice for skating is usually 2 inches or less

@vickisfotos Well most of our winter it is usually good to skate on so you can always visit us here anytime lol

[Anita Campbell]

We are strangers to ice down here. Several years ago, when we were visiting family up there over New Year's, they took us out onto Pine Lake ---- in the car. John and I were a little dubious about the whole idea. Glad they knew what they were doing......

[Julienne Jones]

Looks cold to me ..... brrrrrr!

[Kathie]

At least their recognizing the closure. I saw ice fishermen out today. The ferry's still running so I'd think the ice is still thin. Dah

[Vicki Dixon]
