And we shall have snow... by judithg

And we shall have snow...

The first UK snow photo of my project and it's a bit of a classic tourist view I'm afraid - with good reason mind you as it did look very pretty. I'm a bit grumpy about my snow pictures as Monty was hard work in the snow - either pulling or refusing to budge and everything was a bit dull and grey. A good workout for the legs though as we had about 8" overnight. I have another shot from the other side of the bridge of chauffeur punters making their way carefully through the ice - madness - and they were all a bit to grunge coloured for a good photo so what was the point of that?! Hope you're all keeping warm and having fun!
excellent

A beautiful shot, our snow is thrawing slowly. Eva was alot of hard work on our walk, she walked a bit, fell out of the sledge face first in the snow (!) but was carried for the main part and fell asleep on the way back! I'm sure Monty enjoyed jumping in the snow abit!

Hard to imagine how you get such serene photos always with Monty being Monty on a leash. This is lovely. I visited Cambridge this time last year, and it was cold and clear.

Lovely picture postcard shot. Not sure there will be anymore snow here in Kent. All rather disappointing as wanted 6 foot of snow lol!

It's beautiful. We haven't had much snow to speak of. I admire you for getting out in the weather and taking Monty. We all tend to be couch potatoes in inclement weather.

@bpaquette My legs are aching but Monty's snoring - job done!!
February 5th, 2012

What is wrong with tourists...? I am a tourist via you images and I think they are wonderful. What is so familiar to you we are seeing the first time.
February 5th, 2012  
Picturesque! Looks like a professional photo! FAV
February 5th, 2012  
Well no sun but a great composition and you got some golden tones in there. The snow lifts even a grey day.

You have it all in this photo Judith , gorgeous building , beautiful trees of various shapes, bench, snow & to top it all that lovely graceful bridge with the little people on the top & the fantastic reflection !! Keep warm !! Our dogs always go a bit silly in the snow, sounds like Monty is the same !!
February 5th, 2012  
Excellent shot. I like the reflections and the composition with the building on the left. It was a bit dull and grey today - we could have done with some sunshine as well as the snow, but we can't have everything!
February 5th, 2012  
Gorgeous composition and reflections. I know the reluctance to take photos of what everyone else takes but I've never seen this before and I love it.
February 5th, 2012  
Lovely shot. Fabulous building and the main feature, the canal is beautifully contrasty and sharp.
February 5th, 2012  
The added brush of snow turns this shot into something completely different and endearing.
February 5th, 2012  
Beautiful shot, Judith - such a nice composition! Glad you finally got some snow - just enough to make things look pretty - not enough to totally paralyze you.
February 5th, 2012  
Stunning shot Judith - love the reflections of the arches there. Great tones too
February 5th, 2012  
just gorgeous - fav
February 5th, 2012  
This is beautiful. Love the reflections too. Fav
February 5th, 2012  
We had quite a lot of snow here too, 5 inches at least. I haven't felt like venturing out in it yet to be honest. I have brushed the doorstep free of it though ready for when I do!

This is so beautiful - gorgeous shot!
February 6th, 2012  
This is fantastic! The ducks in the placid water and the one seagull photo bomb up above in the top left corner is great! :)
February 6th, 2012  
Classic tourist view for a reason!
February 6th, 2012  
@mainebrighteyes Yes I'm rather fond of the photo bombing seagull - glad you spotted him!
February 6th, 2012  
@judithg -- the seagull gives some balance to the negative space...it creates a similar curve to the one on the right! :)
February 6th, 2012  
@sparkleplenty1 Oh it doesn't take much to paralyse us!!
February 6th, 2012  
I absolutely love this-- picture perfect for me. A FAV :)
February 7th, 2012  
this gorgeous pic is on the "sign in page" :-)
February 7th, 2012  
@parisouailleurs Thanks Helene - you've made my day - my pics never seem to make PP these days - I know it's not what it's all about but it's encouraging when they do!
February 7th, 2012  
@judithg I know what you mean!!
February 7th, 2012  
@parisouailleurs Yes I was delighted to see your gorgeous bikes there!
February 7th, 2012  
Well done for getting on the popular page...with a very worthy photo. Gorgeous!
February 7th, 2012  
ooh a lovely shot of one of my favourite views of cambridge - I like that seagull too!
February 7th, 2012  
Wowwww... this is just gorgeous... :) love the tranquillity of the water.
February 7th, 2012  
I spotted this picture as being Cambridge straight away! I live in Whittlesford, about 8 miles out of Cambridge and spend a lot of time there - but haven't got in since the snow. This is a great picture :)
February 7th, 2012  
classic it may be but still a fav :-) gorgeous reflections and snow!
February 7th, 2012  
Beautiful snowy scene with brilliant reflection.

Congrats on the PP. Got a snow shovel?
February 8th, 2012  
Love the softness of the trees and the reflections in the water.
