Durdle Door by Spencer Brown..Spencer says: Went off to Corfe Castle hoping for some mist,but no go again. Then went off to Durdle Door for sunrise - at one point there were six photographers taking the same scene!
Faces in the Snow by Lisa Lawley. Lisa says: Snow is a blank canvass, just waiting for an identity.
Fire in the Sky byAndy Farrer.Andy took this in Swanage Bay
Foggy Light by Rich Meston. Rich says: I went for a quick walk out in the fog to try and capture some of the light beams from the street lights. It's amazing how beautiful it looks, and how difficult it is to get something that even vaguely represents what it was really like.
Lonely Leaf by Mark P . Mark says: If I could take this shot again I would narrow the aperture a little. Everything looks so much more picturesque when it snows!
Snow and Ice by Dawn Verdaguer .
