Take a bird's eye view of Burnham-On-Sea's snowfall
No-one
got a better view of Burnham-On-Sea's snowfall than flying enthusiast
Jeff Thomas on Saturday morning (February 7th).
He
took these two 'birds eye' photographs of the wintry scenes in
a microlight 1,500 feet above the town.
"I
had the opportunity to fly over Burnham and Brent Knoll and felt
compelled to take some photos of the area covered in snow,"
he told Burnham-On-Sea.com. "It was a great view that's rarely
seen."
Whilst
the temperatures outside his craft were below zero, Jeff was comfortable
because his microlight is covered.
