Default Winter Light Trails - Snow in the clouds.

So been cooped up all day and seeing as the temperature had gone up a little to -3 I decided to take the camera and go for a walk to try something new. "Light Trails" are new to me but wanted to try it out. The sky was full of snow waiting to drop on us again so got these images and headed home before it did. Hope you like them.

Thank you kindly for your lovely comment, it's nice when a plan comes together. Just glad they came out as nice as they did. Think your right, the sky makes a big difference.

Thanks for the support, happy you like them. It's a nice effect I have not tried before, might have to go find myself a freeway / motorway to try next time
Thanks for stopping by.
David

Thanks, so glad you like these images, I have not attempted this type of effect before, not sure why just never thought about doing it and yes I like the stationary car lights as well.
Have a lovely weekend.
David.
