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.

Harald Loeffler: "After a fresh snowfall, you can see where and how animals have made their way, stopping to rest among the freshly fallen aspen leaves in California's high country."

Lia Mageira: "A winter day in Petroupoli, Greece, a year ago, when we were in quarantine and people had the chance to enjoy the snow- it was a wonderful moment on my balcony when I saw the mother with her child to enjoy their walk."

Sue Norton: "Bird-watching walk on a grey afternoon at Wheldrake Ings Nature Reserve, near York."

Jules Wilson: "Waiting for me to climb the stile as quick as he does."

Enzo Peccinotti: "Taken at Brockwell Lido, in [south] London - though obviously too cold for bare feet."

Nadine Beasley: "Eleanor and her pony Honey wrapped up warm for the walk home."

Saffron Covill: "This charming robin poses proudly at Ickworth National Trust property in Bury St Edmunds[, Suffolk,] - a true beauty, which we were lucky enough to encounter whilst on a wintry family walk in January."

Peter Trafford: "Winter sun shining through the old man's beard."

Steve Demeranville: "A winter walk in Costa Rica, during my winter vacation from snowy New England."

Adam Kautsky: "I took this picture of my two favourite mini-figures on a frosty morning in Balerno, [Edinburgh]. I loved the change of perspective, which gave the ice crystals on the bench armrest, usually hardly noticeable, an entirely new dimension."

Carolyn Howe: "A -25C walk with frozen eyelashes, Alberta, Canada."

Verna Evans: "The tranquillity of my early morning winter walk was shattered when a gaggle of Canada geese took off from Pen Ponds, in Richmond Park, [south-west London,] and flew over my head, with much honking and flapping of wings."

Lesley Woodman: "A local walk through thick wintery fog - it was very ethereal, all sounds were subdued and the atmosphere was very cold. It felt like walking through the inside of a feather duvet."

Albert Mark: "On New Year`s Day, we have a tradition of climbing Creag Beag, a popular hill above Kingussie, [Inverness-shire,] in the Cairngorms National Park. This was a view of some fellow walkers also enjoying the views."

Rodrigo Francisco: "The most beautiful hour to go for a winter walk and appreciate the winter colours at Windsor forest."

Simon Kirk: "A memorable winter walk after dark in Finland, the bitter cold forgotten as we were treated to an amazing auroral display."

Peter Carter: "An early morning, frosty, woodland walk with three rescue dogs."

Suzann Rosamond: "Winter walk, better with friends."
