A Merry (White) Christmas - a photo on Flickriver

Explore #11 - Christmas Day 2016.

A Merry Christmas and a massive thanks to all my Flickr friends, and visitors who have stopped by my stream this year, left faves and thoughtful comments, it's really spurred me on throughout 2016 to take some of my best stuff yet, your support is really appreciated and I look forward to doing the same for you in 2017. Again thanks very much guys, I hope you have a superb Christmas whatever you are doing.

Since we have had no snow and probably the warmest Christmas day I can remember in the UK to come, I thought it only fitting to post this nice snowy scene from early this year (kinda close to Christmas) , been meaning to post it for a while but as always, things take over and things get put down the food chain in favour of newer ventures....

Shot at Twistleton above Ingleton , North Yorkshire on an absolutely freezing morning just after sunrise had been and gone, the walk to here was probably to most precarious I had ever done given that the Limestone was like an ice rink, a proper leg breaker if it all went pear shaped, but that tree was too much to resist with snow dusted Ingleborough in the background!

Also there appears to be some curious weather phenomena going on in the scene, the reaching cloud with the bright 'pointy hand' is pointing toward a 'rainbow ball' (a friend told me this may be a 'glory' ) ? I saw this at the time and wanted to capture it, I've highlighted it with a 'note' to show you - just put your cursor over the image and it should apear, anyone know what this phenomena is? I'd love to know!

Anyway it seemed a great time to post this shot, hopefully you can help me and a very Merry Christmas to you all again.
