Your pictures on the theme of 'winter walks'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "winter walks". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

A man and a woman in winter coats and hats walk in a snowy landscape. They are on a path in a park and there are trees, people and dogs in the background. Both the man and the woman are looking down.
Roland Trope: "An overnight snowfall continued in the early daylight hours. Wind gusts blew snow off tree branches. I took this photo of a couple walking by who looked like they could walk for hours in the falling snow." [Roland Trope]
Monochrome picture of ice crystals on flowers.
Adam Harrison: "I actually went for a quick walk to capture the sunset over the local canal but misjudged the time completely. The ice scenes just down the road were a nice alternative though." [Adam Harrison]
A tabby cat paws at the camera. It is looking directly at the camera while standing on a snow-covered table in a garden. There is a fence, some shrubbery and a flower pot behind the cat.
Stephen Lodge: "Scout joining us on a walk in the snow." [Stephen Lodge]
A dog leaps in the snow. It is looking directly at the camera and is on a blue lead. The dog appears to be jumping over thick snow.
Mike Crompton: "Bublik the Corgi taking his first walk in the snow." [Mike Crompton]
A lone leaf hangs of a bare tree. The leaf is dry and shrivelled and orange and looks like it is just about to fall from the tree. The background is blurred but it looks like a sunny day.

A woman feeds pigeons in a foggy street. The woman is in a red coat and she is carrying a long, black umbrella. The red of her coat stands out against the rest of the image which is monochrome and shows birds all around the woman, on the ground and in the air. There is a chalet-style building to the right of the woman.
Sirsendu Gayen: "A morning walker feeding the pigeons on a foggy winter morning." [Sirsendu Gayen]
Close-up picture of a woman wearing blue woollen gloves. The woman, who has long red hair and a blue woollen hat on, is holding her hands over her face, as if trying to warm them with her breath. She is wearing glasses and is looking directly at the camera.
Ian Hawley: "Wrapping up warm." [Ian Hawley]
A close-up of a metal bird bath covered in frost. The bird bath has a little metal bird attached to it and the bird is also covered in a thin layer of frost.

Skiers on a conveyer belt at Grindelwald, Switzerland. The skiers are in a line heading up an incline. There are snow-capped mountains behind them.
Thierry Meyrat: "At the foot of the Eiger, Switzerland, skiers go up a hill on a conveyer belt. Strange pilgrimage, as they look like walkers who do not move in a naive art painting." [Thierry Meyrat]
Birds on a frozen pond. They are flying in all directions, their wings outstretched, as if panicked. The river bank is behind them and there are trees and buildings in the distance. It is a sunny day with a clear blue sky.
Sandhya Bhattaram: "The sight of the frozen pond in Richmond, London, gives the birds cold feet." [Sandhya Bhattaram]
A woman in a sunhat walking along a beach on a sunny day. The image shows her walking away from the camera. The sea is calm and turquoise and the sky is blue and cloudy.
Carlos Gomez LLata sent in a different type of winter: "Winter walk in Runaway Bay, Antigua." [Carlos Gomez LLata]

Sheep shelter behind a stone barn in a snowy landscape. There is a snow-covered mountain in the background.

A line of five deer cross a road as snow falls.
Hang Ross: "Fallow Bucks in a snow storm in the New Forest." [Hang Ross]
