Not much ever makes the news here on my 'doorstep' but this place has been on the BBC National breakfast news only this morning!
An on the spot live interview with a guy who waded into one of the frozen fishing lodges/reservoirs up to his NECK to save his dog who had walked the ice and fell in. people took pictures, It happened on the same day I took this shot, wish I had seen it with my camera lol.

Hope everyone survived okay. Beautiful image:)
Crisp clear light and co operave subjects ,great
I'm right happy with the two swans. They've got plenty of fat to keep the cold out. Excellent capture and presentation. Bill
A beautiful pair of Mute Swans, very nice capture.
Wonderful peacful double beauty.
Lovely light!!!
wonderful capture
And as a bonus, you got one of those cool drip things going on the left! :)
A very well timed capture Alan, and as Tara has pointed out a drop of water must have just dropped from the second swans beak. You couldn't get a splash as good as that if you tried for it at home in the kitchen. Excellent swan capture and a bonus splash. Bravo!!!!! Silly man could have died of hyperthermia.
WOW ! How beautiful they are. What an excelent shot this is. Look at the waterdrop in front of the swan behind. Excellent.
Splendid composition
fantastic photo!!!!!
BEAUTIFUL CAPTURE :)

This is a stunning image Alan and I'm glad the guy and his dog made it! And yeah - it would have been need being the paparazzi when it happened!!! :)
Nice shot of a lovely pair!

Gorgeous work, the brilliant white-blue of winter really comes through.
As soon as I saw the narrative Alan, I knew I had only heard the name of the woods today, I saw the news and the man and his dog, both very lucky to have survived. Lovely shot
