It doesn't look like Everest from this angle, but to the kold kids hauling saucer sleds and toboggans up Hamel Hill, it might as well have been the top of the world.

I'd been walking around the baseball fields this afternoon, twisting and twirling, stretching and trying to stay warm.  Had to stop mid-way to catch this shot.  If you could have seen (and heard) the speed at which these sledders hurtled down the hill you'd have been taken back to your own sledding youth, when no hill was too steep, no run too fast.

I didn't see many moms and dads offering to schlep the kids' sleds up the hill for one more run.  Come to think of it when we were young sledders, there wasn't a mom and dad in sight.  Child's play.

Thanks to genie software inside the iPhone a colorful afternoon shot can be turned into an artsy Black & White. Don't you like those cattails in the foreground?  By the time I took this one my hands were freezing and the phone went into the North Face puffy jacket pocket, and hands into the gloves.
