The vines are cut back for the winter.

By August, the vines should look like this:

Snow always makes for some good photos if you can get the exposure right.

The new Pogoda is being built in Victoria Park as part of the restoration work. It is not finished but it looks good in the snow:

Even the pigeons seem to be finding it cold:

Snow in Victoria Park , East London, Dec. 2010 - 9, by Cybermyth13.

Snow creates a special atmosphere, especially in a park. In December 2010, the snow settled not only in the ground but also in the trees. With the low light of late afternoon, it looked magical.

Photo from 1985 becomes topical - Keep off the ice

Platt Fields, Manchester, in winter, 1985 - 2, by Cybermyth13.

Someone asked if I had any pictures of Platt Fields in Manchester so I posted on Flickr some pictures of ice on the lake in Platt Fields in 1985. A couple of days after I had posted the pictures it snowed heavily in London and  I took the pictures of the snow in Victoria Park, East London. So many people looked at my pictures of the London snow that the Platt Fields photos had around 100 views each on that day from people clicking through from my snow pictures.

These days I think people would be more careful about going on the ice.

Snow in Victoria Park , East London, Dec. 2010 - 1, by Cybermyth13.

I went for a walk in the fresh snow this afternoon and took some pictures in Victoria Park. When I posted some of them to Flickr, I had loads of views the same evening. Obviously some people stayed in and spent time on their computer today. Many of the views, over 750, came from simple searches within Flickr for "UK snow". It shows how much we care about the weather.
