Best viewed as 'original'.

I finally got out to play in the snow today and play I did. I decided to neglect
the housework and wrapped up in my hiking gear.
First I went to the charity coffee morning in Bellurgan Park where I met
some friends, bought some Christmas decorations and had my first
mince pie of the season. Then I went for a walk in the park land
with its magnificent old trees.
After lunch I took Fudge to play in some fields beside our house
and let him off the lead to run in the snow.
Having had a tip off that one hillside road was passable (the guy
who drives the gritting machine lives there!) I headed up to
Faughart to get some snaps of the countryside and finally
walked through the deserted golf course at Ballymascanlon
Hotel to get some pics of Proleek Dolmen and court tomb in
the setting sun.
While normally I struggle to get one pic for my PAD, today I have
dozens and dozens. I can't remember how to do 'clickable'
thumbnails so you'll have to look in my Fudge and Winter 2010
galleries to see what I've been up to.

Excellent exposure and white balance; nothing blown out, which can be tricky to do with large expanses of snow like that.

It sounds like a wonderful day. I'm happy to know you got to play and take photos and enjoy the weather. You've been cooped up all week. I'll check your other galleries too. Oh, and V for the gorgeous light and composition in this photo.

Very nice Mairead, and an interesting read as always.
One word i'm not sure about tho, "sun" it's a long time since i've seen or heard that word so it's a bit confusing till i looked it up.....
A bit milder over here today and above freezing so our snow and ice has evaporated for now at least.
