In this print captured by David W Cerny, we witness the sheer joy and exhilaration of a young boy as he indulges in his favorite winter pastime - ice hockey. Set against the frozen backdrop of the iconic Vltava river in Prague, this image encapsulates the essence of childhood innocence and boundless energy. Despite Europe's severe cold wave, with temperatures plummeting to a bone-chilling -20 degrees Celsius (-4 Fahrenheit), this fearless youngster fearlessly takes to the ice, undeterred by the freezing conditions. His skates glide effortlessly across the smooth surface, leaving behind delicate imprints that tell tales of his playful escapades. The picturesque setting near Prague's city center adds an enchanting touch to this scene. The tranquil waters of Vltava river stand still beneath a wintry sky, creating an idyllic playground for our young protagonist. As he maneuvers through imaginary opponents and skillfully handles his hockey stick, one can almost feel his determination and passion radiating from within. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst harsh weather conditions, life continues to thrive with unyielding spirit. It captures a fleeting moment where time stands still; where worries are forgotten and pure bliss takes over.
