Default A cold December morning

Well December arrived with the thermometer on the car reading -1.5ºC this morning and the most amazing sunrise I've seen for a while. Manged to get to my regular spot near work and capture a few shots before the fingers turned blue.

Crisp Morning Reflection with Border

Frozen Thistle Leaves

used a bit of artistic licence with this one.....

Seems like my home country is even frostier than where I am now! It's quite nice here today, amazingly. Beautiful images for December 1st though Tim - worth freezing your fingers off for! Hopefully you still have them though ;-)

The sunrise photo is tremendous, how beautiful are those reflections!? And I really like the frostiness of the other two, along with the depth of field you used for the 2nd shot.

Tim, these are all wonderful! What a beautiful setting, and beautifully photographed. The colors and reflections of the first are simply perfect.

That first one is simply stunning! You are a brave soul to venture out in the cold, but it was worth it!

All of these are good, Tim. I just love the purples and golds of your sunrise and coupled with the MONSTER reflection makes that one the winner for me.
