Feeling like putting my gloves on just looking at them. What a fun way to spend christmas.

1 and 6 show the snow as that bit too blue - usual bright day and snow effect. Usually can well reduce this on the original Raw file or if Jpeg a bit of photoshopping.

But still very atmospheric shots thanks for sharing.

Well well - it's certainly cold

Just spotted a Scottish Water van with a gadget attached to the 'thing' in the road .

Seems that the area pressure control valve had frozen overnight so it's been thawed out and the local pressure valves have been opened up a bit to see if that will help .

According to the wee man who was here - he's worked for Scottish Water all his working life [ lucky man ] and he's never seen that happen before .

My water pressure is now a good bit higher than this morning and a bit higher than it's been for a while .

Time for a relaxing coffee break
Just come past my local and there is a Thames Water van parked outside. Very strange as I'm in the Midlands. He must be avoiding the wind taking his skin off.

Don't go cheap.... unless its from good word of mouth. I tend to stick to Hoya or BG.... but have got a great Jessops 77mm.

WOW, what a question to ask.... I will not just say Pentax DSLR but Pentax. Loyalty to users, who has the greater lens compatibility? Will say that from my MV, ME super, P60 to the love of my life K-7 ergonomics and bonding with the camera.

Love not being a Nikon/Canon user...... The rebel keeps us real!

Pancake Ltd lenses..... Make the others stare!

Bad timing. Just sold my old faithful. What is the repair needed?

Great artistic works. Makes me feel guilty for just "chucking" my firewood into the wood store. Maybe if I........
