This last weekend we visited a close family friend and some other friends in the Wausau area. It was timed so that we could attend an ice fishing tournament on Saturday. I don't fish, although I really enjoyed it as a child.
That stated, I absolutely adore the community and, as much as that, the literal and lovely assault of my senses by: the roar of augers, snowmobiles, and four-wheelers; the passive-aggressive cold; the blinding sun; the crunch of snow; the rush of heat when entering a shanty; and the smell of wood stoves and grills.
I'm going to share a few photos below, but if you want to see all of them please click HERE for a SUPER-HEAVY photo page as well as more details like who, what, where, why, how. (people, shacks, set-ups, catching fish) You can also see some video from the day HERE.
(An aside: Most of the photos were taken with the Dreamy Diana toy lens that I purchased from Photojojo. And, the always-necessary fishing line shot is HERE.)
