Fire burning

Visiting sauna tonight in the countryside.
Some wood burning in fireplace. Dark night.
No sounds, but the wind and waves of the lake.
Hot sauna (120c), cold water (only 7c).

It has been a windy, foggy day, raining a bit, but also a quite warm day today +10c (in the evening also). It felt so excotic, that I steamed as walking from the sauna to dive the dark lake.

I have been wondering if I could continue swimming in a lake during and throughout the winter. Never have done that before, or even considered, really! It is told to be very healthy to oneself. Many finns do that regurlaly.

I maybe could like it with warm sauna. Just so lovely combination!

Have you ever dived into a freezing water - with or without sauna? How was it?

Lovely. Already wednesday!
