I've really enjoyed getting out and about with the camera in all the snow and ice this year.

February 2009 saw some of the heaviest snowfalls of recent years - and luckily this coincided with the family being on holiday for a week at Bronte Cottage in Hinderwell near Whitby (see links page). It's not often that we get conditions like these so I was pleased to be off work so I could get out and capture a few images.

As I headed out one morning before dawn it was -12.5 degrees Celcius. As I returned from a productive morning's photography - and after an inadvertant dip in an icy stream - my wet trousers had frozen like cardboard around my boots!
