Will We Ever See This Again?

In: News, Members' Articles
A couple of weeks ago David Askham posted an article about how one picture can tell a story - to quote David:
"A picture can rarely tell a whole story; but it can pose questions which an enquiring mind might answer."
David's article set me thinking if I had got a suitable single picture that could lead to thoughts on the state of our planet and the effect we are having on it.
We are all currently in the middle of another heatwave with absolutely no sign of rain, gardens are parched and reservoirs are too low for comfort.
The photograph of dawn on a snowy, winter's morning reminds me of when I used to venture into Derbyshire's countryside driving carefully to try to capture the feel of a winter's day as it starts.
This was taken some 20 years ago. In the last 10 years the number of cold, snowy mornings can be counted on one hand and in the last five years I can not remember a single one.
The photograph was taken on a Leica M6 with a 35mm Summicron using Fuji Sensia, a film that has long disappeared and one that I always thought matched my vision of colour.
Members who regularly attend our weekends my remember this photograph being successful in one of our competitions.
