The context for these images can be seen in the second photo. The surface of the lake was frozen but by the end of the day the ice had melted enough for large areas of it to appear completely liquid. Some of the birds seemed a little confused, which made my late afternoon walk around this urban lake in Middlesbrough all the more entertaining.
I was amazed by the patterns and textures created by the embedded Autumn leaves in the frost and ice formed on the surface of the urban lake I walked around over New Year.

This image relates to a colour version of the photo I posted here recently from a winter walk at Lliw Lower Reservoir – there is not a lot of difference! The image is included in Monochrome Madness 44 on Leanne Cole Photography blog.
A Winter river walk on a beautiful day at the end of 2014. Reflections and memories, textures and patterns, colour and sunlight and new shoots for a new year.
Happy New Year 🙂
This is a hefty load of snow for the plant to bear but as the day goes on, that weight will be lifted (or dropped) as the snow begins to melt.
Whether there is snow or not this year, this is be a popular place for people to walk on Boxing Day. The footpath round Lliw Lower Reservoir features in my Winter Reservoir Walk, part of the StillWalks at Lliw Reservoir collection available on request or at the reservoir cafe.
The video is featured below, so if you don’t want to go out if it is pouring rain again . . .
