The Winter of 2009-10 has been particularly harsh up here in the North Pennines.
We've had a month of deep snow with temperatures dropping as low as -14 °C.

A long trek in deep snow.
Although fleeting, the winter sun is warm and welcome.

Two of my favourite colours, the winter landscape combines them perfectly.
Fresh snow and a blue sky.
