Today, our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day is a photographer best known on the DPNow forum and galleries as bigbob.
We haven't seen much of Bob in the last year and it turns out that he's had a lot of issues to sort out in his personal life, but the light is at the end of the tunnel and he hopes to be posting photos more regularly later in the year. Nevertheless, Bob did find a moment during the cold spell we had here in the UK back in January. His frosty Kent countryside scene is almost ethereal. Only the telegraph pole and lines remind you that this isn't a 17th century scene.
Bob explains: "This shot was taken on the A26 between Tunbridge Wells and Crowborough, it was just about the coldest day of the year, my car was showing -11."
Well I, for one, am glad you stopped and braved the sub-zero conditions to record this picture postcard scene.
