Cold frosty dawn

Tuesday 8th March 2011, 06:45am
It was a cold frosty start this morning as dawn broke around -1°C.
Took a picture of the sunrise and one looking at Cullingworth.
Went into the garden last night at 18:56pm to look up at the Space
Shuttle and Station as they quickly passed over Bradford low in the sky
to the SouthWest. Although only appeared as two small spots of light
and couldn't get a picture it was great to see them pass overhead.
