Brass monkeys (out looking for a welder)...

Much of the UK is still gripped by below-zero (C) temperatures, and the cold snap is set to continue. Despite this, the afternoon weather looks good for a spot of snapping of my own, so it's on my bike and off to see what I can find to photograph.

It was this time last year that the water in Poole Harbour, Dorset, froze along its edges. Although the harbour is tidal it has a low salt content, and is relatively shallow, making ice formation more likely as the temperature drops. The photograph was made at Sandbanks today, during low tide.

12-24 mm f/4 Nikkor. 1/100 second at f/11. -0.33EV. ISO 400.  0.6 grey graduated filter.
