Views over Conistone in the snow

Taken with a Canon 50D, Sigma 10-20 lens at 10mm, F16, shutter speed 1/60, ISO100, tweaked in Photoshop

Just had a quick look through my archive shots. This photo was taken on the 7th February this year during several weeks of cold weather. We went out walking near the wonderful Yorkshire village of Conistone, in the places the snow was over 3 feet deep, great fun but very tiriing to walk in.

The shot was taken just before sunset which in February was around 4’ish!

I know summer has just started but it will soon be Christmas ;)
