As the weather wasn´t that good here the last weeks, there were few occasions to take photos and many results were poor. Real highlights were few, so here´s some more or less standard traffic.

[leedseagle]

hi there

Nice sharp pictures CWUK best ive seen for a long time. uk weather conditions have been pretty poor this winter, I think we've been spoilt the last two previous years weatherwise

All the best
