Gritty Yellow

Many local authorities in England
ran out of grit and salt during the
recent cold spell which saw the worst
snowfalls in 18 years in some places

Nikon D40x
1/125s f/5.0 at 86.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

We need more of this! t least, you EURO people know what we need in the winter! I nearly fell on my butt several times in my very own hospital....
Phillip Normanton20-Feb-2009 20:41
Mmmm - did they run out salt or just the money to buy more???
Great topical choice for yellow though :-)
Máire Uí Mhaicín20-Feb-2009 19:01
Yes, very gritty indeed!
Laryl20-Feb-2009 03:07
so they put salt out in places /bins like that for people that get in trouble?
Barbara Heide19-Feb-2009 23:36
nice textures and tones!

Super contrast. Looks like it has had a long wet Winter.

Lovely shot! I love the rich detail in the wall and undergrowth, and the splash of yellow hits the mark perfectly. V
Maaike Huizer19-Feb-2009 12:24
We have those too, and they were needed this winter. Well done.
Neal Nye19-Feb-2009 12:15
Certainly not to be overlooked! A nice bright spot in an otherwise somber scene.
Sheila19-Feb-2009 11:24
Nice yellow against the fabulous wall textures!

Glad you explained the grit & salt to an Aussie who's never even seen snow!
A very interesting composition, love the mossy rocks!

Nice composition, like the colors...good find, neat wall.

The footpath looks a little tricky to navigate with that wall at the start... Great yellow - and a great photo of an object that became all too familiar over the last couple of weeks.

easy to find the salt in a blizzard..wonderful patina on the stone wall...V

I like the wall too. It's got real character. Salt is bad for the environment.

Nice container, wish they did that here on hills that have a lot of snow and ice.
Linda Willets19-Feb-2009 03:35
Something we dont see here in the desert southwest.
Cindi Smith19-Feb-2009 01:23
And, what is this about global warming???? Now, they are calling it climate change....funny how our weather is in cycles, been that way for centuries. Great shot of something that was needed badly this year!

Great wall - shoot it for green.
