Fran Wilson Photography has done it again 😍 what a shot! Thank you for freezing yourself to get it 💙

As Cold as Ice

Castle Hill, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, England.

Hands down...or should I say, hands frozen, this has to be the coldest I've ever been whilst taking a photograph. The temperature may have only been around -1, but taking the wind chill into account, it felt more like -10!

I do hope you like it, because it took around half an hour to regain the feeling in my hands!! 😆🙌🥶

FYI

Good afternoon, you may have spotted our team at the George Hotel today, putting up some scaffolding. You’re probably thinking ‘we thought they were done with the external works now?’ 🤔
