Picture Page News 3. Karol Steele winter pics.

11 April 2008

This winter's best picture.

Who would believe this picture was taken only a few short days ago and a cracker it is too. It looks like the dead of deep deep winter, as a lonely figure peddles his way homewards through the freezing blizzard, but no, as I say, its just a short time ago. April days eh! We have been enjoying blazing sunshine ever since so the weather is in serious topsy turvy mode. But this shot marvellously captures the gloom of a winter's day.

 

The Castle looking as magnificent as ever through the driving snow, while the picture on the right shows young Ted galloping at full stretch through Connaught Park. "Whats all this white stuff!?" says young Ted as he experiences snow for the first time. Hard shot to get..a dog pelting along at full tilt.

 

Just to finish off with this elegant tree study on the left, all on a beautiful Winters (Spring) day.

Many thanks to Karol Steele for getting out there into the winter wonderland, in such harsh conditions too, and capturing these lovely pictures for us all to enjoy.

  AWESOME picture.
  
  Once again Karol has nailed everything that could possibly be said about that weather a few days ago.
  
  I adore this picture, the eerieness of the lone cyclist, and the softness we associate with snow. This Pic has got it all.
  
  Well done Karol xx

  Karol the pictures are great, do you remember I met Ted when i was walking FiFi by the river a while back, he really seems to be enjoying himself running through the snow, Fifi enjoyed herself in Connaught Park too, it was her first experience of snow, so it was a case of 'What's this white stuff' Wahey!!!!

  Thanks everyone for your lovely comments.
  As you know, photography was my first love before acting, so I always enjoy the chance to get the camera out and catch a moment in time.
  I got a lovely one at Folkestone too just before the snow hit, which is on the kentonline website.
  Ted's looking forward to getting back to the park again and meeting all his doggie friends (including Fiff) in better weather!

  that takes me back karol.
  the first dog i had was called ted, though to be exact, she had another name when she came from the rescue centre.
  
  a lhasa apso with one eye, looked like every childs favourite teddy bear.
  
  after about 3 days i called her to dinner using that name and she responded immediatley. hence the name stuck.
