Snowy Saltaire
This is nothing more exciting than the gateway into the carpark in the centre of Saltaire, but a frosting of snow and a few red berries against a blue sky transformed the scene into something rather pretty. These Victorian railings are among the few that survived WWII without being turned into armaments. Behind the shrubs you can see Salts Mill, with the morning sunshine just lighting up its facade. This might have to be my Christmas card next year!
(Again, this photo was taken before the heaviest snow fell. We have had no more here since Wednesday and everywhere has started to look a bit grey and dirty now. I soon get fed up with it!)
