Langstone Mill Pond

It was wonderful in the sunshine at Langstone Harbour this morning, when my wife and I went to feed the birds and get some fresh air............although it was absolutely freezing and most of the birds were hiding in the reed beds. The bit of the pond that wasn't in the sun, was frozen over!

After a brisk walk, we treated ourselves to some hot chocolate to warm up, before driving home!

Als ob da hinter den Schwäne eine Bühne aufgebaut wurde,so kommt das rüber mit dieser Ansicht lieber Keith,da hast du ja die schöne,sonnige Seite fotografiert und deine Aufnahme gefällt mir sehr gut,da hab's ihr euch danach auch die heiße Schokolade verdient :))

Bei mir gab's die letzten Tage fast -10 Grad,meine Finger freuten sich über die Kälte,aber es gab sehr schöne Frostmotive :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

I am so pleased you like this one Güni...........I was really lucky with the light and glad I found an un-frozen bit of the pond.

We're nowhere near as cold as you are........the lowest we've been in the South of England is around -3 or -4, which is plenty cold enough for me!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, best wishes, Keith.

The swans had the good idea of being in the darkest place!

A beautiful winter scene that only the low winter light can produce, brown is certainly the predominate colour at the moment, but spring is coming I have 3 winter aconites out and some snowdrops showing their white tips and I know where there are daffodils out you just have to forget about the snow tomorrow :((((
