Three degrees of separation
I’m so glad every now and then it snows heavily in England. Just after stuffing the car into a ditch, through expert test driving on ice, ahem, actually practicing handbrake turns, oops. While deciding how to dig the car out on the ditch in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, UK, I noticed these lovely trees.
It was a fair old way into the middle of the field to get the right perspective but I’m glad I did.
I hope you like it.

Taking this shot was definitely more important than getting the car out of the ditch – well at least in the short-term I suppose. Great shot and series of shots,.
