Sunday Snow 2012
Today we had the pleasure of waking up to a blanket of snow, covering most of London this morning. So we grabbed our walking boots and as many layers of clothing we could physically put on and headed out for a long walk (3 hours, to be precise) on Hampstead Heath. It was a fantastic day and the snow was a perfect powder texture, here are a few favourite photos, enjoy.

Thanks for sharing because I know this is not a common event in London.
Nice pictures, Loren. There’s nothing like a fresh ‘powdery’ snow to liven the spirits. Were those ‘dogs’ in the photo? They sure have a ‘wolf’ appearance….my Siberian Husky use to, too. my best……tom… The Poet’s Crafts/The Olding Poet
Wonderful photos! Enjoy the snow for us too, since we’ve hardly seen any this winter! Thanks for sharing and congrats on being freshly pressed!
bellissime foto!
Fantastic photos, I love photos 3 & 4 the most.
Beautiful photos and it almost makes me miss the snow. Almost. Did you build the Easter Island head? That’s so unique and creative! Love it!
Some beautiful shots –
That’s more snow than we’ve had here in Toronto all winter. Hope you enjoyed it.
Good Lord. We’re in north Northumberland and even the Cheviot has very little snow on it. Summat weird is going on. Love the Easter Island head. 🙂
Beautiful photos!
Gorgeous photos — looks like it was a beautiful day. Congrats on being FP’d.
I wrote a short poem about your photo day at Hampstead Heath and used your photos giving you credit, of course, and listing your weblong site…and you can see that at my site…..http://thomag2.wordpress.com……my best, tom.
L-I-K-E the snow sculpture….! How cool!!!!
Haha great ice sculptures! Is that supposed to be a Moai? And wolves are always nice to look at.
Beautiful. Your(?) two dogs look like wolves. Also love the snow statue.
Please check out my travel blog. Just uploaded a video of Austria (snowboarding, paragliding)

I love the last photo of the statue resembling something from Easter Island
Wow, freshly pressed. What an honour and thank you to all your lovely comments.
I’ve got to confess the dogs are unfortunately not mine but I couldn’t resist the look on their faces to take the shot. Also the snowman head is not my handy-work, there is one very talented ice sculpture out there somewhere, unfortunately I don’t know who it is to give them credit. But if I find out I’ll update the blog.
Thanks everyone, Loren
Hi Loren, me and my friend Tim are responsible for the Easter Island statue (and a couple more up near Kenwood House). It’s been great fun to see so many photos of it on the internet, glad so many people have enjoyed it. It’s just a shame we don’t get many days’ snow here.
Matt
Thanks for letting me know Matt. I’ve added your names at the bottom of the photo. I’ll keep a look out for your snowmen again if we get anymore snow, think that might be our only day this year.
These are stunning and beautiful photos! The wolves are breathtaking!
I am a WordPress photoblogger as well, I love to photograph nature and animals. Great job.
Thank you for sharing this nice day with us.
Great photos. Looks fun, but very cold. Thanks, Connie

Such great and beautiful photos (especially liking the last one and the wolves)! This was my first time experiencing snow (yep!), so when it started coming down heavily on Saturday night I wanted first dibs to roll around in it – and I did! Fresh and crunchy powder 🙂
Beautiful photos. Make some snowballs for me … I live in Arizona. 🙂
This boy of the North is ready for his last boreal winter. My clothes may stick to me, but ya can’t shovel humidity, no matter how hard ya try.
nice!
I love to walk in the snow as well. I get it from my father. He has been deceased now for 14 years, but when I see snow, I have get out and walk.

I love the picture ot the two dogs…I wonder what they do when they’re alone? Let’s put cameras on them…mike it too…they probably nuzzle in code…I wouldn’t be the least bit surpised…we usually get snow in Boston but not this year…but we can imagine it really well so it’s ok to not actually have it sometimes…thanks for sharing your photos…might you have any grey poupon….I like all my trashcan finds better with it…it’s the little things….
Although I live in snow for almost nine months out of the year, I never tire of the beauty of a winter landscape. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos!
Wonderful.

Brilliant photos, we got no snow in Ireland so I take it upon myself to pronounce Ireland jealous.

I soo SOOOOO envy you. I wanna live where it snows, PLAY WITH SNOW
Make SNOWMEN LOL
Excellent shots btw

Historic photos and precious moments for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Snow fascinates me. And your lovey photos, WOW! I just hope that some day I will be able to experience snow. But I also love the tropical climate.

Great pictures! And that snow sculpture is awesome!
this view is really very beautiful, and this snowman is the most special i have seen
Superb photos. I love the wolf dogs. I’m feeling very inadequate about my own snowman efforts now! I live in Tuscany, Italy, we’re having an unusual amount of snow here too. I’ve put some pics here on my blog http://tuscanyvillarosalena.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/wheres-mr-tumnus/
Beautiful photos….
So sad that I am not in England at the moment to enjoy the snow. Love the shot of the huskies looking rather wolf like…
it is a beautiful
cool 🙂

So beautiful! I specially like the one with the dogs. I wish we had snow like that in my city.
We did the same thing in Paris last weekend – though we didn’t get as much snow. It was quite amazing. Thanks for sharing your photos.
Thanks for taking the time to share your view with us.
You seem to be more practicable! keep up the good work!
I’ve gain more knowledge and good information from your post thanks.
We didn’t have snow quite that bad, those dogs look so cute in the snow 🙂
That snow sculpture is wicked! 🙂
Are those your dogs? What kind are they? They’re beautiful!
A wonderful wintry collection of photos! . . . Love the snowman! Thank you for sharing!!

Love the nose snow …face (it looks like Legends of the Hidden Temple that show that used to come on Nickelodeon). Also, geeze lousie how many people are sledding – that’s amazing!
Wolves in London!!! 🙂
There is no snow here! I’m so jealous we haven’t had any good snow all year…
Wow! Beautiful photos ! Thanks for sharing.
Is that the hound of the Baskerville’s in that one photo?
absolutely stunning photographs.

These are some really neat photos! When it comes to taking photos with snow, what camera settings do you like to shoot in? I imagine the glare from the snow could compromise some of your photos and wash them out. Do you think landscapes such as mountains and fields work better, or do forests or other landscapes with lots of trees and structures? Thanks for sharing your photos!

Beautiful Snow! It’s good to see that somewhere in the world, the snow is falling! (from almost snowless in southeastern wisconsin)
Looks pretty where you are, but here in NYCity, it aint pretty, trust me. lol

Uff, I just want the snow to melt. I’m sick of it. Sweden has been so cold lately. Brrr!

The third shot, of the two trees, is fantastic!
I love your pictures. London looked so beuatiful last weekend
I love snow, especially when I don’t have to stay out in it.
😉
Great photos, who knew so much white could be so beautiful.
On the heath no less! Every time I’ve been to London in winter it’s been unseasonably warm, or at least too warm for snow. It looks marvelous.
Beautiful photos!
Like everyone else, I’m wondering if those big furry dogs are actually wolves, or at least if the big one is? They’re beautiful in any case. Also love the snowman!
Hi, they are husky dogs, not wolves. They were out enjoying the snow with their owners. Thanks for the comment 🙂
Beautiful pictures!
Bring some over, please! It is terribly hot over here.
Really like the the third photo, the tree! Nice and cold!
Nice photos:) …and dogs:)
Fantastic pictures of London, wonderful snowman as well, bet Hampstead Heath is still covered in snow! as my own garden is at the moment.
Great photos – very atmospheric. I LOVE the snow man! I want to try that out myself.
Beautiful photographs, one and seven particularly. Bet those Huskys were thrilled to be in their natural environment.
I love these photos! I was so attracted to the photo with the huskies…and the wonderful blanket of snow out there. Really makes me wish that I’m right there too!
Beautiful photos, you have capure the essence of the winter season.
Well done
