So it’s been COLD in London the past few weeks. I was walking through Trafalgar Square last weekend and there was actually ice forming in the fountain. I stopped to take a photo, and in the process managed to very nearly drop my iPhone in the icy water…

The trees were definitely not the only things suffering from the cold when I took this picture this weekend in Berkshire. We were strolling through a local forest to get ourselves settled in to the nearest pub for a hearty lunch and I caught this shot of the bitter sun shining through the branches.

There’s something about the cold that makes everything that extra bit crisper; Atmosphere, contrast, clarity. I loved it so much I’m sharing it.

Now, someone pass me some gloves. Typing makes my hands remember the -8°C wind chill.
