Snowy mooring

Snowy mooring

A narrowboat moored near to Compton Lock during the recent snowy spell.

There’s only the slightest touch of colour in the boat’s paintwork: the superstructure is a very dark blue, not black.

Snow and ice covered lake, West Park

Snow and ice covered lake, West Park

A layer of snow had settled on the already frozen lake in West Park.

Snow-capped ivy berries

Ivy berries under snow

Berries on the end of a twig of ivy holding a little pile of snow. The smaller bunch of berries on the side twig didn’t seem to be ripening.
