A classic from you Andrew, great composition and conversion, like it very much. Good the way you have captured the footprints in the snow as well.

I agree, great composition. Just love the Web Prints in the foreground, they give it that extra something.

Clearly one of yours, even from the thumbnail I like the little footprints in the foreground snow!

looks a bit like a view from Gotland - but I assume I am even in the wrong sea - lovely impression from a great landscape.

Yes, try Bristol Channel, Axel! (Always wanted to go to the Baltic. All that snow on the Danish island. Can't belive in thiry foot drifts!)

Thanks everyone. So weird to see snow right at the sea's edge.
Best wishes,

Andrew

No David, it's the Welsh island of Steep Holm, a bit further up the Channel.
Best wishes,

Andrew

I love that rocky forground.The way the detail diminishes really gives a sense of perspective. A great black and white
subject.Did you use a tripod to get it so sharp?

I think Steep Holm is in Somerset, by the way, unless it has drifted. Flat Holm would be in Wales. Many memories of Weston-Super-Mare!

Best Wishes,
David W
