South African winter sunrise in the countryside

---

I captured this shot at an event that is called "Polar Bear Plunge" a group of contestants has to swim through a small lake/pond, grab a rubber bracelet and swim back. The first to finish wins. it is the coldest day in South Africa's winter and the water is between -5 to 5 °C. it was a new experience.
