Last year I posted Leaf on the Skylight, while this time the captured leaf is stuck frozen to the car windscreen.
It was Christmas morning, the air was crisp and a cold shroud fell over the land. The first sight that greeted me was this leaf, caught on the frozen windscreen of a car as I opened the back door of the house. The frost and curled edges of the leaf made me rush back inside and grab the camera.
So join me on this walk into a North Cork bog that was taken on Christmas Day as all posts this week will come from this cold, crisp walk.
Hopefully you have all had a good Christmas and kept warm throughout.
Meticulous Mick 
simple and moody… very nice winter shot!!!

I’m interested how it would have looked like in colour! Was the contrast too low that you changed it into black and white?

It was taken in colour, but the contrast was quite low and I felt that it looked better in B/W. With some pictures I can be in 2 minds but here I felt the b/w was definitely better. MM 🍀

Unfortunately we don’t tend to get much in the way of cold down here – wind and lashings of rain, yes. Thanks for the comment Dale, MM 🍀
