As the sun was rising

..I was freezing my assets off down by the river.

This shot was taken just as the sun began to hit the reeds - probably in the first 10 seconds or so.  It changes so fast at that point.  The Extra is a wider view, taken a few minutes earlier, as the sun began to climb over the catherdal.  The 2 spires you see are its west front.

I'm hoping the main image will qualify  for TinyTuesday (subject Seasonal).  Thanks dbifulco :))  It will also be tagged for SecondSeason's 'festive features'.

Actually, the coldest I got was as I turned for home and a friend phoned in a bit of a flap.  The hand holding the phone to my ear got so cold I couldn't move my fingers.  Ouch!!  Ah well, porridge, hot coffee and a warm bath soon sorted that.

Tonight is our choir Christmas concert, so I'll do as much commenting as you let me before I go and the rest tomorrow.

Have a good one  xx
