On top of the dam – almost!
No entry to the dam wall today! Water to the left, big drop to the right!

Derwent dam from front and centre (almost) and a lower vantage point than my previous post Dambusters.
A snowy route
We got a good 15 – 20cm of snow on Friday so just had to go for a walk before it melts (although we are due more snow tomorrow).
Just a few yards from home
…leading to the Christmas tree farm …
…on past the pond, frozen over
following the path
to see the urban art, out in the country
Merry Christmas
Just down the road from home, snow covered Christmas trees at the Christmas Tree Farm (2010).
Straight out of the camera (SOOC) with no processing for a change (apart from border and signature).
Weekly Photo Challenge: Changing Seasons
I found these old images earlier this week and re-processed in Nik HDR Efex Pro (my colour efex pro trial had run out). I then got distracted by some mono images and forgot abut these until I saw this weeks challenge.
BRING ON THE SNOW!
