King's Lynn snow day - November 29, 2010

After a night of snow South Quay is quiet and the river is calm, 
reflecting the clouds above.


Although sunny here, we can see that upstream
it is still snowing.


At the War Memorial the snow is still undisturbed.


At the entrance to The Walks, the snow is
already well trodden from people walking to work.


Still at The Walks.


This fountain is running, with the water frozen into icicles.
Where the sun has caught one side it is thawing, leading to
this lop-sided look.


A close up view of the frozen fountain.


Looking back at the Frozen Fountain.


It is a happy moment, with the sun breaking through
and shining on the white show.

Snettisham RSPB Reserve

Snettisham Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve, Norfolk, UK

Welcoming committee:)


The path to the reserve is through some private fishing lakes. Note the ropes dividing the "pitches"


This is also a fishing lake, but much more open


and the birds don't mind that it's a lake for fishermen only


Further along the path, we walk alongside a lagoon, the other side of which are some beach houses


Most of the beach houses have boats, but I did think this one was rather big for such a small lagoon


We cross over the lagoon - this is looking down it's length
 towards Snettisham itself


Eventually, we reach the beach - yes, there is sea out there somewhere!


Some old sea defences show the power of the sea out here when it's not so calm as today

more sea defence remains


out past the path to the RSPB reserve, there were these old buildings..... not too sure what they are...

Walking on, the path takes us under an arch of trees


and then back across the lagoons towards the sea

This really is the post box for the Probation Service .....

Pilot Street

Pilot Street is just a small road off of Tuesday Market Place, but it has a charm of its own:


Round the corner...


I assume this cottage once belonged to the church.

Lot of contrasts in style for such a short terrace of houses


This might even be Mediterranean! 


A old shop front, perhaps?
