Description The skyline of Belfast city centre, Northern Ireland, as the Queen's Bridge crosses the river Lagan on a snowy morning in December.

In the distance are the Albert Memorial Clock, the spire of St Anne's Cathedral, and a new luxury development called "The Boat". The "Ring of Thanksgiving" statue is just about visible to the left of the Albert Clock. The globe on which the statue stands is half-covered in snow, and reminded me of a Christmas pudding.

(Re-processed this in Capture NX 2 rather than DXO Optics - May 2011.)

Compare the development with previous years:

Thank you I'm sure the light would have been better an hour earlier in the day, but that was the time I was passing. Belfast certainly has improved in recent years, and looks even better with a layer of snow

We don't often get snow. This winter and last have been the exceptions, but the autumn always seems to be the most beautiful time of year
