Default Skeleton trees

Well here in the south west uk we finally got snow!
School was shut so I got a day off too - yay!
In between helping the kids build a snowman I nabbed a few shots round the garden

And finally the skeleton trees, the view over a high wall opposite my house

Very nice B&W set, quite a minimalist eye shooting the gate Iron and chain work really well in B&W and gret perspective on the chain. Great trees, nice and contrasty B&W and well composed... TFS

Nice shots Paula! I hope you enjoyed your day off in the snow with the kids. I like your first one the best, also for its composition.
