On Thin Ice
Covid Winter 20/21
Rather than get locked-in in Scotland during the winter of 20/21, Sandy and I decided to get locked-in at our cottage on our fairly isolated island 30 minutes out in the 30,000 Islands archipelago of Georgian Bay. It wasn’t until September that we decided to try to make a Grand Adventure out of an unfortunate global pandemic so queue frantic planning and preparation before we were to be cut off in December, surrounded by ice and snow. Of course, we hadn’t actually spent anytime in Canada during the past 30 winters so there was considerable risk - almost certainty - that we were going to get much wrong. As the saying goes, we didn’t know what we didn’t know.
Anyway, you can read about our trials and tribulations - and have these photos described in context - in our blog of our misadventures, On Thin Ice. The images below are more documentation then ‘art’ but I like them anyway. They roughly follow a chronology of preparation, isolation, winter fun, and spring thaw, and they remind me of a special time in our lives.
