Lake District - Tuesday 22nd Jan 2013

Post by NB777 » Wed Jan 23, 2013 10:23 am

The sun came out on Tuesday afternoon so I headed up to Dunmail Raise to see if I could get any fast jets in the snow. Froze my toes off but it was well worth it.

Number 5 has to be one of the best snowy tonkas I've seen dude, the angle and glint of golden light. Very sympathetically edited as well. Top draw :thumb:

Lovely shots there Nick. Like the winter lighting, especially on #3.
Atmospheric stuff. Looks as cold as you say it was.
Cheers Bob.
