Abingdon in Winter

free counters


In February 2009, most of the UK was covered in snow for a few days, and the country ground to a halt!
The Thames Valley usually escapes most of the bad weather, but not this time. For the first couple of days of snow,
the sky was completely overcast and everywhere was quite colourless - so I converted the images to monochrome.
Then, on the third day, the sun came out...
...and a few days later, the snow melted. And the floods came...

It's now the end of 2020, and flooding has hit Abingdon once again, right after Christmas...

i guess this event sets Global Warming back a few years!
Nice pic though.

Looks familiar Chris. Great gallery. Particularly love the monochrome shots.
