bleak.

I have been wanting to do a winter photo in b&w for a while now that illustrates how cold and bleak it gets here. I'm not super happy with this one though as it isn't really what I had in mind. Of course, all the snow has now melted, so maybe I will have to wait until next winter. *crosses fingers*

Thank you all for the fav's and comments on my paper clip shot. I haven't had a photo on the popular page since April, and I had two this week. Thanks!!

This does look bleak. Love the fogginess on the trees and how the ice looks on the water!!

Perfect title. Love the tops of the trees fading into the mist.

Really gives the feel of a cold winter day. Must try black and white for snow scenes - we're due to get some more snow this weekend. Will give it a go. Well done for this one.
