Ice Age: Part 2 - Texture Fest

The run was quite sensational. All my photos are on Picasa: http://picasaweb.google.com/sebdick/LondonUnderSnow.

This was Platt's Lane on the way up to the Heath. I didn't photograph much of the way there, but West End Lane was astonishingly quiet. There was minimal road traffic and with no public transport, there were large numbers of people on foot. The snow deadened all background noise and the only sound was that of people talking and school-free kids in high spirits. It was strangely utopian.

Here's a frozen lake in the West Heath. Beautiful.

Here's our road. Those routes with less traffic made the snow feel that much more special, in addition to remaining unexposed the Cult of Slush that we forget accompanies snow on main roads.
