England in Winter

I took this photograph from my back garden as the light was starting to fade this afternoon. We've had some dark, wet, windy miserable days this month. As I went to take the photograph, I was hit by the transition from a centrally heated house to the chill outside, where I could hear water dripping from my neighbours guttering. But even at this bleakest season of the year, the bare trees were set off by the pastels colours of the sky. I have much to be thankful for when some parts of the country have been flooded, and not for the first time this year.
