There is something about the sound that the blades of your ice skates make when digging into natural ice that hits me deep within. It is a cross between the sound of someone hand-sharpening a large machete on a stone and that primal, hollow echo pang that a solid lake makes when being pressured. When the thrusting steel hits the cold surface, it is initiated. And when you are at a distance, watching several skaters go by, you hear what amounts to a symphony orchestra. This is extra relaxing when you listen while taking a break from gliding along!

Watch another of our Markzware Adventures with some of the Markzware Europe crew skating at lunch this January day in Delft, outside of Holland:
