The quality of images shown on Flickr under Creative Commons license is often amazing. Browsing the social network today, we found exceptional images of inspiring winter activities that we wanted to share with you. From bike snow to snowboarding, ice skating, or even swimming in cold rivers (an epiphany ritual in Eastern Europe and Russia), winter offers us tons of opportunities to push ourselves and spend beautiful moments in Almighty Nature!
May these images bring the little spark of inspiration you needed to go seek adventures in the mountains – or maybe start photography ?
