EDITORS COMMENTS
In this winter scene, a weathervane in the shape of a witch on a broomstick stands proudly atop a snow-covered roof in London. The photograph, taken on February 5,2012, captures the anticipation of heavy snowfall across central and southern England. With up to 15 cm expected to blanket the London area overnight, the weather vane serves as an eerie yet whimsical symbol of what lies ahead. The image showcases the intricate details of both the witch weathervane and the surrounding environment. Against a backdrop of gray skies, the contrast between the dark silhouette of brick chimneys and white snow creates a visually striking composition. The close-up shot allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship behind this fictional character but also its creative use as an indicator for wind direction. As temperatures plummeted below freezing point at -2 Celsius (28 degrees Fahrenheit), icy conditions were inevitable. This photograph captures nature's ability to transform familiar landscapes into enchanting winter wonderlands while reminding us of potential hazards during such bad weather. With no people present in this frame, it invites viewers to imagine themselves standing beneath that wintry sky or perhaps cozying up indoors by a crackling fire. Russell Boyce's skillful capture encapsulates both beauty and trepidation within one frozen moment—a testament to his talent as well as Mother Nature's unpredictable charm.
