This week I had the chance to enjoy sunrises four times while skating on the nearby lakes. It is a great way to start a day: feeling refreshed and ready for day’s challenges. Although waking up before sunrise may be the cause of having multiple fits of laughter in the afternoon…
It’s great to be on lakes when sun is rising, nature is waking up, birds singing and only sound you produce is the scraping sound of your skates. I produced the video below to give you some idea of the delights of Nordic skating. It’s a bit different this time, more meditative compared to my previous video about skating. Another great, but very different video about Nordic skating by Pasi Ahola can be seen here. A lot of speed, wonderful ice and wind in that one.
