Monte Carlo Classic Rally in Paisley Start

Tonight was the start of the 104th Monte Carlo Classic Rally with around seventy entrants gathering in Paisley.

Heavy snow was forecast so not quite sure what to expect.

However as cold an evening as it was, we did not get the snow too bad, though we did get enough to make it interesting in getting decent photographs.

I think it's good that Renfrewshire Council make the effort to host the event and although the crowd was a bit diminished, due I think to the weather, nevertheless it was a very good event and worth making the effort to go along.

Snowy Day On My Langbank Walk

Some images from Maya's later walk today - she sure loves the snow.

Still enjoying the compact camera though low light and winds meant a tripod was a must today.

A record of the first winter snow here in Langbank.
