johnloguk > 6.2.09 - Open wide, say "aaaaaah"

Bloody students, instead of going to lectures these ones found time to make an igloo! This might get a comment from Lincolnsteve, as he was a student here not too many years ago. It is over 6' high, and has a side entrance, quite a tidy little abode.

My back is still bad today, but I had to drag myself out for work and this was just begging to be photographed as I drove past. Apologies again for not commenting, but sitting at the computer is bad news for me right now. 

There is an alternative view of the igloo here;  http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/6455907_NuREH#468571536_iJ5Dj
johnloguk > 5.2.09 - Icy Lane

We had another 2-3 inches of snow overnight. By the time I'd got my back free enough to drag myself out it had stopped. I would have loved to have taken more shots, but I had too much to do and my back simply isn't up to it. The main roads have all been gritted/salted and are perfectly clear, but minor roads like this are very "interesting" to drive on. Fresh snow on top of hard packed ice, what fun :)

Thanks for the kind words about my back, it does ease the pain a little bit :)

I've added a few more shots from this morning here;  http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/6455907_NuREH#P-4-15
johnloguk > An alternative treatment to my Daily Photo of 30.11.08. I used a cooling filter here to emphasise the freezing fog!
johnloguk > 30.11.08 - Peace and Contemplation

This image was left over from a couple of days ago when I did the misty collage. I always felt that I could do something else with this, and in the end this is just a sepia photo filter, but it conveys the feelings I wanted to get across, so I'm really happy with it. At the time I sloppily let the back of my car intrude into the photo, so that was cloned out. But otherwise it is just a B&W conversion, an adjustment of contrast and the sepia filter. I love these misty days with the sun trying to break through, and the stark silhouettes of the trees, mind you, it was bloody cold :)

There is an alternative treatment here which emphasises the cold a bit more;  http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4328734_9ZqLR#427338235_SzU46  

For those of you that asked about my curry night, it was a lot of fun. I love cooking, especially Indian food, and this was a chance to show off a bit with friends. They brought liquid refreshment, I did the food, and we all got totally stuffed! I'm now eating the leftovers, which are even tastier than last night :)
