It's cold outside

I spent my Saturday in snowpants, up to my knees in the snowbanks of the forests north of Madoc with a 300mm lens and close to 200 dogs.

Eldorado Sled Dog race! It was fun, but cold.

ELDORADO, Ont. (22/01/11) - Musher Ed "The Sled" Obrecht and his sled dogs braved the cold to take part in the annual Eldorado 50 mile sled dog race north of Madoc on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011. The route was shortened to 42 miles due to poor snow conditions. Photo by Rachel Psutka.
