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.
Roland Trope
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.”
Adam Harrison
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.”
Stephen Lodge
Stephen Lodge: “Scout joining us on a walk in the snow.”
Mike Crompton
Mike Crompton: “Bublik the Corgi taking his first walk in the snow.”
Lewis James Davies
Lewis James Davies sent in this frame taken during an early morning walk.
Sirsendu Gayen
Sirsendu Gayen: “A morning walker feeding the pigeons on a foggy winter morning.”
Ian Hawley
Ian Hawley: “Wrapping up warm.”
Clare Keegan
Clare Keegan: “The early bird wasn’t catching any worms a couple of weeks ago.”
Thierry Meyrat
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.”
Sandhya Bhattaram
Sandhya Bhattaram: “The sight of the frozen pond in Richmond, London, gives the birds cold feet.”
Carlos Gomez LLata
Carlos Gomez LLata sent in a different type of winter: “Winter walk in Runaway Bay, Antigua.”
Leonardo Fugoso Jr
Leonardo Fugoso Jr: “Walking downhill in Wisconsin could be treacherous.”
Fiona Smail
Fiona Smail: “Sheep venturing out into the snow from the comfort of their barn in St John’s in the Vale. It was a lovely day when the sun shone bright and the sky was a pale shade of winter blue.”
Hang Ross
Hang Ross: “Fallow Bucks in a snow storm in the New Forest.”
Mick Bennett
Mick Bennett: “Morning coffee always involves a barefoot stroll in the garden – no exception. Warm hands holding coffee cup, cold feet on the crisp, frozen snow.”
Evelyn Oakley
Evelyn Oakley: “A woman taking a walk in the fine snow adds her own pattern to those already drawn by departing vehicles and earlier walkers.”
Alice Cumberton
Alice Cumberton: “Smile for the camera.”
Tom Cotsford
Tom Cotsford took this picture while on a walk in the New Forest.
Craig Horne
Craig Horne sent in this picture entitled “Legsnow walk”.
The next theme is “glass” and the deadline for entries is 18 February.
The pictures will be published later that week and you will be able to find them, along with other galleries, on the In Pictures section of the BBC News website.
