It was cold around 6 degrees the wind was blowing and there was snow falling and the people were playing, joyful and having a few cool ones. A typical winter scene at Medicine Lake! From left to right a man and his dog, Ice fishing House, two men clearing a runway for their remote controlled planes, Ice fishing house, a woman and man pulling a sled loaded with fishing gear (Gas powered Ice auger, poles, bucket, and no shelter) Ice fishing house. Everyone greeting everyone, happy, talking and just plain old fashioned friendly! That's winter on Medicine Lake !!!
I was immediately attracted to this shot and the scene it conveyed, made all the more interesting by your description. It looks especially good enlarged.
