Visual Counterpoint

The recent snowfalls encouraged me to carry my camera with me on my daily walks with the dogs.

The first day was very overcast and the poor light and yellowy-grey sky made things very difficult.

I used a polarizing filter but not until the sun appeared on the second day did this help improve the sky. I obtained a few photographs including one of the church in Grappenhall village.

I dug out the car on the third day and drove to Delamere Forest where I was surprised to find a lot less snow although the mere was completely frozen over.

The following day I stayed locally and explored along the Manchester Ship Canal bank. Here my dog Chris acted as 'point' and found a way through the tree branches that had fallen across the track. He repeatedly failed to realise that I would find crawling under the snowladened arches far more difficult than he did.

I have added photographs to The Winter Room, The Monochrome Room and The Sepia Room.

It is probably easiest to view these via  'Recently Added' on the photo gallery bar.
