Frozen Lake
To watch how I captured this shot watch my video diary of the trip: youtu.be/USkOCVW78tw" rel="nofollow youtu.be/USkOCVW78tw The “Beast from the East” winter weather dumped heavy snow over pretty much the whole of Britain…apart of course the Isle of Man! We still however got the brutally cold sub-zero conditions and a tiny dusting of the white stuff! This image was taken at a small pond which sits at the foot of South Barrule. The freezing weather meant that the water was beautifully iced over with very thick ice which is quite a rarity here. I struggled to find compositions I was happy with but this one stood out for me. The two bunches of snow covered reeds with the tongue of ice slipping in-between made for an interesting foreground with the imposing South Barrule looming in the background. This shot makes me feel cold just looking at it…which is fitting as I’ve probably only just thawed out properly from this shoot a week later!!

This is OS mapping. In some areas, OpenStreetMap shows more footpaths
Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
