I had just finished vacuuming and mopping the floor of our old home after the move.I had a little time to spare before I needed to go pick up my wife from work. I decided to go on a short walk on the ice of Lake Alasenjärvi.
Towards the platform
It snowed rather heavily yesterday. The platform is barely visible. Those two dots in the extreme right in the picture are ice fishers.
The platform from the lake. An ice-skating track has been ploughed by a guy who lives in Viuha on the opposite shore. He uses a 500 kg all-terrain vehicle.
I went to have a chat with that ice fisher.
The drill
That's the rest of his gear.
The ice fisher gave me permission to photograph his gear. He said many species lived in this lake. Its greatest depth is about 14 metres.
