A wintry day

Posted on December 24, 2014 by simongregor

Being in a seasonal mood, I thought I’d continue yesterday’s wintry theme with another image from December 2009, when the Christmas holidays were somewhat snow-clad.  I remember that the thickness of the snow varied hugely even over a small area, … Continue reading →
