During summer time everybody can surf the ice river, but when it’s freezing cold it’s an act of heroes. Jumping into this cold river during winter surely strengthens the immune system, even though I think these men don’t waste a thought on it. They want to be on top of the water as long as possible. The next man is waiting already to jump and surf. There is no moment of hesitation. As soon as a surfer is under water, the waves carry him away and the next one is already in the wild water.

There are always enough spectators, too.

The froth was white, the diving suits of the surfer were black. Some surfboards were white, too. The color picture and the black and white picture were rather close together.

I’ve been very often at this rather famous location, yet each time I discover a new perspective.

You can never jump into the same river. This is so true.
