It was only when I got this image home that I realised the remarkable resemblance (although reversed) to the famous landscape painting by Pieter Bruegel the Elder - Winter landscape with skaters and a bird trap. http://www.wallpapers-free.co.uk/background/paintings/pieter_bruegel_the_elder/winter-landscape-with-skaters-and-a-bird-trap/ (In this case the flat area is a football field rather than water). It shows just how well Bruegel has captured the motion of the people in his painting.
