Sutton (St.Helens) in Snow!

19 February 2007

As Sutton Beauty is currently experiencing quite a number of visits from Suttoner expats from all corners of the world, I should explain that it doesn't snow that often in Blighty any more. Once a year in St.Helens is par for the course and it's very quickly gone. Whether it's a global warming phenomenon I really don't know, but February 8th was this year's 'snow day'!

This explains my excitement when it does snow and desire to share pictures of Sutton in snow as it gives such a different look to all the sites featured in Sutton Beauty. It's not easy to capture interesting snow pictures through issues of exposure and contrast, although I'm quite pleased with how some have come out. Strangely a build-up of condensation on the lens has given a few images oil painting-like qualities. I did fall through the ice into the Sutton Mill Dam and slipped down a bank at the Clock Face Country Park in my desire to get the best possible pictures, so I do hope you enjoy them!
