	Pheasant 1024 x 768 226K	A pheasant hunts for food amongst the snow and ice.
	Beach 1024 x 768 214K	Complex wave patterns left in the sand by the low tide.
	Snow Pattern1 1024 x 768 171K	Saucer-sized hollows in the surface of the snow. These have apparently been created by the sun. The grass at the top of the picture gives an indication of scale.
	Snow Pattern2 1024 x 768 178K	A closer shot of this effect. It may have taken a few days for the sun to achieved this on patches of snow on the Pentland Hills.
	Snow Pattern3 1024 x 768 180K	Photographed on 28th February 2001 on the footpath up to Bonaly Reservoir. The wind has sculpted the drifted snow into stepped contours. The exposed heather plants give an indication of scale.
	Snow Pattern4 1024 x 768 146K	Up at Bonaly Reservoir the snow has been blown into the water as the water was freezing, giving this fascinating creamy / cloudy consistency.
	Ice Beach 1 1024 x 768 210K	The fresh water seeping off the land and down the beach has frozen on top of the sand. The rising tide and sunshine will soon melt it. Photograph taken near Yellowcraigs, East Lothian.
	Ice Beach 3 1024 x 768 217K	A closer look at ice on sand. The tiny shells at the bottom of the picture are about a centimetre across.
