Thanks for sharing this impressive view

Gena, thanks for the link. Actually, I didn`t see any smelt among their catch, only pike perches. Brgds.

Thank you, Roy. So would I, especially since there is always an ice crunching sound caused by wave impact as a large ship passes, and enough cracks as well.

Very interesting shot, you would think people would be worried about the ice cracking when the ship passed. I think I would be.

Typical Russians, they would be still doing it even if there's +5 for several days & a layer of water above the ice.

Thanks for viewing, Frits!

Nice shot Maksim!!

Thank you,Csaba! Althougth it`s thawing a bit, the ice is strong enough - around 8 inches tick. All these folks are hoping to catch a pike perch and some of them get lucky)

Great shot! How thick is the ice? Are those folks out for a walk or ice fishing?
