Kite skiing in an incredible environment

[virginie24jb]

Cold. That was cold... It was less than 14°F / -10°C and the wind was awful but I've spent an incredible evening photographing the sunset in Alsace, France. There were some guys kite skiing there and it added something very unique to this scene. I'm very grateful for their presence.

Very cool! I've never seen it done on snow. It's big at the beaches here.

#7 is my favorite. The skier, blowing snow, and glow of the sunset light all work together really well in this image.
