A First Glimpse of Winter

[Pete Askew]

As in the UK, it has been unseasonably warm here for the last month or so. That all changed yesterday with a temperature of about 5 ºC and a strong wind all day. The temperature dropped to -2 ºC during the night and this morning we had light snow for a few hours and it is cold enough that the roofs are still covered.

You should wipe your lens before taking a picture.

Turned out a fine image just the same!

Actually I developed the picture in the bath and Lightroom seems to have got water in it!

Saturate those colours and you’d win the annual Saul Leiter Prize.

I like it.

 

[Dave Farnes]

I like that. Looks like a curl up in front of the fire kind of day.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Rob. Thanks, Dave. It was a scurry across the courtyard to the studio kind of day for sure.

I love this Pete.
You know I love a good window smear(!) but, on first viewing, the logical part of my brain is telling me 'nothing to see here'. Then it's attention is caught by the building on the right - because of the colour of it, I guess. That makes me want to explore the rest of the image more deeply.
Very nice.

Thank you. Chris. It was one of those 'views' that just grabbed my attention and forced me to to dig a camera out.
