Dead Calm

The canal is still frozen - although the feeble sun is beating down.

Though the sun feels warm, this may all be relative to the extreme cold.

Nought degrees seems tropical.

With the snow lying on the ground and the cloudless sky marked only by a contrail, I get the vibe of a sci-fi book cover. This is no doubt helped by the colour range provided by the camera phone.

Except benches and litter bins aren't very sci-fi...
