A very nice photo. I like the gradual transition of colour from the foreground to the sky, and the similar gradual transition of tree sharpness from the foreground to the hazy distance. Well done!

Great picture, David! We've had so many of these lately,(no complaint intended!),it's hard to find enough superlatives with which to comment!
....by the way,is there still a cricket club at Dalton?

Excellent photo "In The Bleak Mid Winter" would be a good title for it.

Was your P-a-D on 30th Jan.`13 taken with a zoom lens?

Comment by: Ellen on 3rd February 2013 at 02:31

Thanks for that,Dave Thomas. I spent many Saturday afternoons there as a teenager. Strange how in retrospect, they were always sunny Saturdays!

While I sit here rain pouring down and just over recents major floods, I think to myself now here's a photo I could look at every day, while we swelter in our humidity. Just lovely and cooling and such a contrast with a bit of mood thrown in!

Comment by: C Rad on 17th October 2013 at 00:26

Comment by: Veronica on 22nd March 2022 at 22:59
