Frozen beaches...


For the better part of the week the UK has experienced conditions colder than parts of Iceland and Greenland, and as a result the sea has frozen at the edges of Poole harbour, Dorset, and in particular around the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula. Largely due to the low salt content and shallow depth, this is still a rare event, but as the cold snap ends and temperatures climb to around 6˚C today the ice has retreated somewhat before I can get to the area with a camera. The image, shot this morning, shows what remains of the ice, with Brownsea Island in the background.

12-24 f/4 Nikkor. 1/250 second at f/11. ISO 250. 0.9 neutral density grey graduated filter.
