Brass Monkeys beware

hello ! why "Brass Monkeys" ? but superb ! what lens was it ? a sigma 10-20 ? (exif indicates 12)

It refers to an English expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" = very cold. Its the exterior of my house 2 days ago. I used the DA 12-24.

I see ... I can feel it ... you must be deep in snow down there ? not too cut off I hope ? it is supposed to last next week ? but up there, you must be equipped and used to it ? here, it has gone "milder" = only 0 (zero) !

I managed to get out of the village this morning but it was difficult - we needed food !

There's only about 10cm of snow but we are exposed on the edge of a plateau & the wind has driven the snow into deep drifts. Great morning for photography this morning, sun and snow - I'll post some photos - if I got some good ones!

I have no doubts they'll be good ... this morning, I found at our local newsagent a "perpetual calendar" all done with photos from ROBERT DOINEAU in b&w, A4 size : great ! now I have to find where to put it up ...
