Pun-Free Snow Pictures Headline


What can I say that hasn't already been said about the weather? Heaviest snow for 18 years, bin lids for toboggans, no rail information 'due to weather,' yadda, yadda.

Every website going has dozens of pictures, and terrible snow-puns. Me? I'll just go for the first. Thank you so much, everyone who's sent in pics. I haven't included here any sent on Flickr as I am a Phantom of such little brain I can't work out how to get them off the Flickr pages - soz...

I may well do aother batch later - hell - everyone likes pics of snow, don't they...

Rod was responsible for the fine photo of Yours Truly above. He also sent me the fab aerial shot and the gates as most of us have never seen them before.


But ultimately on days like this, everyone just heads for the park. And this ghostly pic of the Observatory is just a little deceptive. The place was crawling with people - Rod must have got up pretty early to get this.

It was as crowded as it gets on a sunny day in August, as Emma's pics show:

I just adore this snowman and his dog - how many hours did that take..?

Thank you Phantom - I'm glad you like the photos.

"this ghostly pic of the Observatory is just a little deceptive. The place was crawling with people - Rod must have got up pretty early to get this."

I didn't manage to get out of the house as early as I would have liked, actually. Carefully waiting for the right moment and a little bit of cropping were the secret here.........

Hi Phantom, I'm sure you are glutted with them but I've published a load of snow photos of Greenwich Park & Blackheath from yesterday on my site Deptford Visions (http://deptfordvisions.com). They are in black & white so perhaps add another dimension to your already awesome collection.

In fact all the Greenwich photgraphs are fab! Aren't we lucky to live in such a great place.

Thank you for posting those photos. If the snowman and his dog haven't melted, I'd love to go and see them tomorrow. Which part of the park are they in, please? I thought I'd seen every snowman and missed the best.
thanks.

The snowman at the top of Blackheath Hill is holding a sign saying "Dover"
