Welcome to Narnia

It was completely magical along The Backs this morning. Aslan would have been quite at home. I took a few shots with a nice lady as the 'focal point' and then she turned round and asked if Monty and I could be in her photos. Naturally I absolutely refused (I didn't really - she took a nice pic - it was better than yesterday's selfie!) Anyway - you may need to view large to see the beautiful gate at the back of Trinity and King's College Chapel in the distance. Another photo in Extras today - because it was snowy! http://365project.org/judithg/extras/2013-01-21
Three good things:
1. My beautiful kind daughter sent me a surprise canvas of 'Snow in St John's Street' - it looks great!
2. Chatting to nice fellow photographers on my walk.
3. My sister and her birthday flowers were re-united (not sent where I asked them to be sent but she was there anyway!)

Indeed, magical, and I can just see King's college peeping through. Fav!

Superb snow scene - I just love the way the snow has applied itself to one side of the branches and stuck there (same for us) and it gives a wonderful effect to the trees. Beautiful!

[Laura Latham]

lovely view and you are right it looks even better when viewed large against the black, brings out the detail of the gate.

[Janna E.]

Magical indeed - I love the way snow transforms the world and you showed it beautifully here.

[Emily Chadderton]

Another lovely scene Judith - wish I lived somewhere pretty!

Narnia indeed. It is just so beautiful. I feel like I am living in a black and white world at the moment. FAV

[Pat Knowles]

A beautiful gate indeed Judith....i must say your snow is very beautiful whereas our little bit is very patchy & slushy! lovely fairyland of trees! Is Snow in St Johns Street one of yours? Must check!

[Pat Knowles]

Ah yes I see it, bet it looks wonderful on canvas...lucky you with such a thoughtful girl!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the snowy branches. Reminds me of Christmas. :)

[Barbara Paquette]

Narnia- hmmm - reminds me I have some more closets to clean out. Love the contrast of the snow and branches - yes - best viewed large!

Another lovely snow scene - it is so pretty at the moment but I fear it is slowly melting so we had better make the most of it!

[Jen Hudson]

Beautiful snow trees. When you are walking in these scenes it does feel like a whole magical world. Makes you feel quite different.
I only visit Cambridge now and then and envy you this everyday world with its lovely sights.

[Peter de Graaff]

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Did you get her info so you could get her pic of you? I was like " she refused a pic?" Lol!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Gorgeous and beautiful and oh what a star your girl is. A beautiful canvas of a beautiful picture xx

[Mair]

Magical indeed! I can just imagine the silence there (though there was probably some traffic noise!)

[Heidi]

I really like this image and how the one tree stands out.

[Juliette Packham]

nice snowy day shot...this bout of snow certainty has had a magical feel to it! it should snow more often, I swear people are more talkative and friendly while you're out! by the way, thanks for the shout out on the recent thread...made my day xxx

[Peggy Sirk]

Wow. Just wow. !!!!!!

[debi]

beautiful snow cover branches!

[Cathy]

Narnia is a wonderful description of this wintery scene... hope you didn't encounter the White Witch! :)

[Jane Pittenger]

It does feel asif the wicked witch is going to appear at any moment

[beachradish]

LOVED those books growing up. It does feel Narnia-ish!

[Katharine Hubbard]

Nice one - you captured the snowy trees much better than I managed to. Did you see the awesome giant snow caterpillar outside the Trinity back gate?! And there is a snow Loch Ness Monster on the Sidgwick site that's worth checking out too :)

[Margaret Tryon]

Gorgeous.

[bmnorthernlight]

Oh this is dreamy!

[8yearson]
