Manchester 9th Jan 2010, originally uploaded by whalleyranger.

Photographer whalleyranger tells us: It was taken on the 9th Jan in the city of Manchester in the North West of England. I live in the south of the city, and we have had the longest cold spell and levels of snow for over 30 years.

The dafs are planted in a bed that forms the front wall of a block of flats along with evergreen shrubs. I’m sorry but I don’t know which type of daf it is but it sure made an yellow impact amongst the white snow.
