The things we do for our kids...

Hockey practices get us up at the crack of dawn, and it is freakin' expensive...

Great b/w Northy

[Colleen]

It is sooo unbelievable the amount of money and time spent on this, I only know 2 young men from our area that made it to the pros...

[KWind]

I know what you're talking about... I paid the year of fees upfront this time almost $4000 for two kids to swim and that doesn't include meet fees or travel expenses. It's worth it though...keeps them fit and out of trouble! At least I don't freeze watching like you though! Ha ha. Nice "arena" scene!

[Kerri]

Great b/w

[Sandra]

Very nice B&W, well done.

[❀ Lynn]

Good choice for this.....everything feels b&w at this time of the day!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love all the different lines in this one. Nice shot.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Oh and yes I think it counts as a street shot - but then I take half my 'street' shots in a shopping centre. ;)

[Lisa Pouncy]

I know what you mean. I've spent today making a Mad Hatter outfit today for youngest son to wear to a Halloween party next weekend...only waiting on the bright orange wig to be delivered ;o) xx

[Michelle]

I hear you!!! great shot though :)

[Allison]

Very cool b&w capture......love the lines!

[Kelly]

Like the lines here - and yes I now take my ipad when I am waiting for my kids .. and waiting ... and waiting - thank heavens for that little invention!!

[ladyjane]

Oof. I was always glad my son never expressed an interest in playing hockey - we went the soccer route. Still, I spent many hours watching games in the cold and rain. :)

[bardejov]

Great shot with a story. Very cool.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Cool shot, love the lines and the people, perfect in b and w.

[Morgan]

Love the use of black and white. I also like the prominent "exit" sign that stands out against the parallel lines...because some mornings, I'm sure that's exactly what you want to do!
