On Saturday whilst out for a walk along the Stour River we came across some remarkable snow patterns on the lakes.  I can only guess that they were caused by a timely combination of ice, light snow and wind but however they happened they were wonderful to see and in 10 years of walking I had never come across anything similar before.

So well worth a photographic visit (with ladder) – and being late for lunch for!

The first image is a rough cut composite showing pretty much the whole lake and images following are more considered views.

And this last pic was taken by my brother of me in action up the ladder, sporting a fetching pair of orange pants!
