Snow Wall Sky by andycoleborn

Snow Wall Sky

Was woken this morning by my mate texting me to say Pompey's game had be called off because of snow in Hampshire.. Oh well, least I can grab some more Zzzz's... 10 minutes later my Dad calls to let me know the game's off because of the snow in Hampshire...!!

Oh well... may as well get up!

Around lunchtime the snow hit London - about half a foot fell in an hour.

With no game to go to, it means I wan't get to see my parents and drop their presents off until after Christmas.. Shame, but am due down (weather permitting) on Boxing Day.

Decided to walk the hour or so to the local shopping centre in the afternoon. Saw 6 crashes on the way!!! First one was about a minute from my flat when a car slid into a metal bollard (Bollards!! I was tempted to shout...lol).. The last a lorry that had spun 180 degrees, mounting the pavement and ending up in someone's front garden... Glad I decided to walk today.

Was really nice walking in fresh snow, that satisfying crunch under foot.

Walked past this flint wall and thought the snow and sky made a nice contrast. Tried B&W but much prefer the colour the sky gives the photo.
Nice abstract - yes it was extreme today.

I like the straightness of this picture. I also like seeing snow. I does seem that you are getting more snow then normal.

Did you know the Pompey game is off Andy?

@cirasj Cheers Joe... You're not wrong... years with just the odd flake here or there then 2 years running we've had lots... very unusual for southern england

Nice simple shot and good story to go with it. I made a point of staying indoors all day. It was bad enough taking today's shot from my living room window; I was getting pelted by the blizzard.

I like the color of the sky as well...and glad that you walked as well.

Andy this is very abstract looks like wallpaper cool

I find walking when the cars are going out of control a bit uneasy! Fear of hitting me! Crazy weather... Nice shot... Really like the texture and color was a good choice.

I really like this - quite abstract, and different to your usual style. Cool - well, freezing in fact :)

Modern art. Very cool.

Interesting stark shot. Glad you decided to stay out of the car as it sounds like those who tried ended up sorry they did.
