Catching No Criminals

Catching No Criminals A lone fisherman
I walked out onto the frozen Lower Lake Rudan in Handen yesterday, and met a retired police officer. Lasse was ice fishing and as you can see from the evidence in the portrait photo, he had caught one fish when I arrived. I told him about a few of the other police officers I have met while shooting portraits around Haninge, and he knew two of them. The world champion Anne Sundell and, Björn Jansson, which isn't all that surprising considering that he worked for thirty years as a police officer in Stockholm. Lasse is a member of the local fishing club Lilla Fiskelyckan, but I don't think he will win any prices for this catch. Click here to see some big catches from this lake.

haha! That's like a sardine compared to the others Steffe, he should just throw it back until it grows a bit!

People go ice fishing on the lakes in Minnesot5a where my brother lives. They have little huts on the ice, with electricity, TV, etc. I don't get it, but my brother says it is an excuse to watch football and drink beer without wives around.

It was a bit colder this morning with -17C. I will go for a walk now as there's a blue sky to match the cold weather.
