Cross Country

I went cross country skiing for the first time in my life today with my son's class. It was incredibly hard and I feel like jello. They took us on a 7 km route loaded with hills. I fear movement tomorrow (I know I said that same thing the other day but there's no comparison). I even wiped out with the camera. It was covered in snow!! This was my view for two hours.

Here's another shot from today:

Yes it is hard work and all that fresh air makes one very tired afterwards! Great perspective!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Rach_who]

I like the different textures in the snow

[Sue]

Your a brave woman KW ... don't think I could have done it. I hope the body's not too bad tomorrow :)

[amy spada]

7 kilometers on a first try at cross-country (with hills)! Yikes! You are a very brave lady! Take a hot bath and ease those aching muscles tomorrow...

[Sandra]

How cool and great POV. Hope you had lots of fun.

[Paula]

Great shot!

[KWind]

@amyspada So, I'm not being a wimp?? This was the class's second trip up but my son said it was way harder this trip. My mom is cooking me dinner, then I'm having a bath and collapsing!!

[Kathy A]

That sounds like a lot of hard work!

[Danny G.]

Sounds intense! Nice capture, great lines

[Jake]

love the lines

[Nikki]

Great leading lines!

[Lisa Stein]

Great shot! Love those lines!

[Roxy]

great pov and pop of red!

[Wendy]

I can almost hear the crunch of that snow. Get a good night's sleep!

[Amanda Wilder]

Wonderful pov! I can feel your pain. This is no easy sport.

[Paula]

OMG cross country is SO hard compared to swooshing down the mountain, no? Good for you for getting out there and doing it - camera and all! I'm thinking about taking up snowshoeing next winter:)

[KWind]

@westcoastwallis I've snowshoed a couple of times and loved it!

[Paula]

@kwind yeah my friend does crazy snowshoe treks with his camera and gets some seriously amazing shots!

[karenpics]

I took the exact same shot last weekend. It was also my first time cross country skiing. It was fun and I'll definitely try it again.

[cheryl]

Great shot!! What a fun thing to do with your son's class!

[bkb in the city]

neat shot and sounds like a great experience. I have always wanted to try cross coountry skiing

[jerry plume]

Great perspective! My legs are turning to rubber just reading this! I hope you have a spare walker you can use tomorrow!

[guttersniperebecca]

Looks tough for sure!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love this PoV!

[debi]

nice shot......I've done both downhill & cross country in the beginning it was rough but it gets better......hang in there!

[Denise]

A fun perspective!

[Violeta]

Nice!!! Love the tracks and the angle. Awesome cyan tones!

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

7km?? Are you insane? lol. Good on you... that's some hard yards! At least you got a shot lol.

[Kate Goring]

Sounds like an incredible workout. Love your pov, the red skies seem so alone in all that gorgeous white stuff.

[Sean O'Neill]

Great shot Kim. I would be in intensive care after that!!!

[Menarose]

Magnificent "leading line" shot. Im envious of ur very active life!

[Lisa Pouncy]

That doesn't look like my idea of fun. I hate cold feet for a start xx

[KWind]

@psychographer Ha ha... I was actually sweating and my feet were quite warm. The boots are much more comfortable than the downhill version.

[Leana Niemand]

Wow it sounds like hard work. A great shot, I like the lines and colour.

[Mariya]

great point of view =))) and love the red on white set up=))

[Corinne]

love the pov !

[Edie]

This is very cool. Love the pov and tones.

[Kd Wallis]

It has been so long. This makes me want to go try it again :) Fun shot!

[Phil]

Ah - I remember that sight well!! My kids wouldn't believe me today :) Well done for surviving it. The snow looks wonderful

[Amaya Williams]

Fun shot with a fabulous splash of red. Well done for giving the cross country a go!

[Pat Knowles]

A fantastic POV & you are very energetic...bet you are sore today!!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Oh well done you! Fabulous lines and those splashes of colour are wonderful!

[Katie]

I would be so paranoid about falling! A friend of mine said that cross country skiing is tough 'cause he likes to look around and every time he does, he gets his footing mixed up and collapses!

[Kimberly Balychev]

Outstanding POV and congrats for trying something new :) Super capture!

[bardejov]

O my! This looks so real. Good for you trying it out. It's a great sport. I did country skiing like for 10 years in my youth.

[Brian Baptie]

So love your perspective!!

[Jennifer Ruge]

Wow! You are brave to go that far your first time. It is much harder than it looks.

[Frank Hymus]

Great shot. Almost worth the wipe out.

[Amanda R.]

What a fun POV! I really love the long lines you have in this. Excellent composition!

[Richard]

cool shot

[Juliette Packham]

fabulous shot - I bet you find muscles you didn't even know existed!!

[Velina]

Sounds exciting! I've never been skiing, too. Maybe I have done it when I was a child, but I don't remember much:)

[Kristin]

Great composition of lines!

[Vicki Dixon]

I really like this viewpoint

[Suse♡]

Awesome shot! I love the composition and colours.
