Vendors near Songhua Lake

This photo was taken in 2008 near Songhua Lake in Jilin, China. The women in the picture were selling a few fruits and fried fish. Songhua Lake is dammed by the Fengman Dam and the heated water forms a beautiful phenomenon known as rime ice. Jilin hosts the International Rime Ice and Snow Festival every year, which is a celebration that I have been fortunate enough to attend twice.
