For those who've followed my Ice Racing photos ... here is a rather 
different view of a crash...

I managed to shoot several, but this one happened right in front of 
me, when a rider caught a rut made by the spikes of earlier 
riders.  I was safely (?) behind a 60cm (24" ) by 2 meter (6 feet) 
wide wall of ice and snow.  However, an hour earlier, a young lady 
had run her bike, and herself, right over that wall, about 3 meters 
to my right.

(Although she was attended to by the ambulance crew, she was only 
"winded", and was back racing in 30 minutes.)

I made this shot, and then ducked below the snow line, in case he and 
his bike continued on.  Fortunately, they didn't.

Tomorrow is the last racing day of the year ... though I'm nor 
sure  I'll make it, being Valentine's Day and all.

C&C welcomed, as always.
