Christmas Eve Skating on a Frozen Swamp

ArthurC · Dec 29, 2019

Went out with a few friends to a Swamp down the street which had the only good skating ice around. I stayed off the ice due to a couple broken ribs

but everyone else had a good time.

Very well done. I liked how you captured the long shadows from the early/late sun. The "figure skater" that didn't have slated on was pretty good. Thanks for posting.

To a Floridian, this looks like a blast...with proper padding of course

. I enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing.

Reminds me of my youth! We'd **** up a creek near home to create a pond to skate on. Nice video

Nice job ArthurC. Sorry to hear about the ribs, ouch! Thanks for letting us in on the fun.

Very nice.

I recently watched this video from Sweden about skating on thin ice and the sound it emits when doing so.

Thanks for sharing the frozen fun.

Nice video, a bit to long for me today, but a beautiful place and good shots.

I don't know how to ice skate and thought your video was cool.

I do walk the dogs in the summer near and in the river occasionally nearby, but to be able to traverse the frozen highway in the winter blows my summer mind when walking to the rivers edge.

I thought the video was worth sharing with a skater.

Skate and fly safe.?
