## Caption

The sea froze for the first time in 20 years, and photographer David Trood noticed the winter bathers. "I was interested in why the bathers do this crazy thing: it's dangerous and painful, yet they swear by it." – david_trood on his project at #Vedbaek beach, north of Copenhagen where he photographed them daily for about a week.
