Winter is the UK is usually a fairly damp, wet and grey thing – snow if it happens usually lasts hours or a couple of days. Last week however a cold spell from the east came and with it came ice, snow and frost for about a week.
This usually means that the country slows to a near stop and it did with temperatures as low as -8 during the day. It also made some stunning scenery and beautifully intricate shapes from the water.
This little gallery is a selection of the pictures.
The Sun when it came out added to this beauty, shining light on and through the delicate frosticles and the low Sun casting long shadows.
One morning the water on a window had frozen and made these stunning patterns from the water.
It was hard not to see a place where the nature of the Sun wasn’t showing off – the tree picture at the top was where the Sun bathed the treetops in golden orange and the bottoms in dark – the Moon adding to the image like a cherry on the cake.
There are loads more pictures, let me know if you would like to see more. Have you had any frozen weather? What’s it been like near you?

These photos are just stunning- you have captured the ethereal beauty of winter! I would love to see more of your photography. We have had winter storms on Vancouver Island this week which is not common at all- we had 40cm of snow fall a couple of days ago and it is SO cold. It does make for a beautiful landscape though 🙂
