1 hour in the snow

It snowed in Cambridge again today (the heaviest UK snowfall in the last 11 years), not quite as much as in Oxford or London, but enough to make every other person wander around town with their camera :)

Taking advantage of the glorious and beautiful snow, I left home early and wandered around the pretty parts of Cambridge taking photos before work. The last time it snowed, I headed straight for the St. John’s Backs (snow photos from January 24th, 2007), so this time I took a friend’s advice, and wandered around Jesus College, with a few stops along the way. My favourite photo of the morning (after some minor artistic retouching) is of a girl playing with her dog on Jesus Green. The colours were pretty much as shown, and are very reminiscent of the famous scene in Schindler’s List, with only the girl’s red coat standing out in an otherwise black-and-white scene.

One photograph (well, 36) that I haven’t got round to processing yet is a 360 degree panorama of Cambridge, taken from Castle Mound. I have a similar panorama taken at sunset, so it will be interesting to see how the two compare.
