365/337: 22 January 2011: Silloth again

The usual Saturday trip to Silloth with youngest daughter for keyboard lessons. As always I took the camera – but this time without much hope of a shot because it was thick freezing fog. But then I thought – “Damn it! just take some photos”, which i did, and proved to myself again that you can a get a picture from almost anything if you set your mind to it. Would have been happy to show these more or less as they came from the camera, but decided to have some more Lightroom fun with them.

 

365/292: 08 December 2010: Frosty, frosty, very, very frosty…

…it’s very frosty. And I’m glad I took the opportunity to grab this shot because it thawed about 3 hours later. The gardens in the hotel were rather surreal because there was so much hoar frost that it appeared to have been rendered in black and white rather than the usual mix of colours.
