Come Alive

The beautiful Gollinger Waterfall tumbles into the Schwarzbach during autumn in Austria

About This Photo

At this waterfall I was surprised to come across a man bathing in the frigid waters pooled at its base. I had a good chat with him and apparently it's his hobby to swim in cold mountain rock pools, and this was the third he'd visited across Europe in as many days. He showed me photos of himself immersed in a pool surrounded by snow and said it was his goal to visit a waterfall in Siberia where it is less than -40C...brrrr!!!

While it's not for me, I could see how much he enjoyed it and it was clear he'd found what makes him come alive!
