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.

Helen Ruth Edmondson: "The spectacular hoar frost made this morning walk absolutely wonderful."

John Cooper: "My daughter's colourful wellies always brighten up a dull winter walk."

Jacqueline Melling: "Easy to see where this blackbird has been out and about looking for food."

Patrick Mitchell: "What you looking at?"

Siobhan Gale: "Walkies on a chilly afternoon at Burnham Beeches, Buckinghamshire."

Roland Trope: "A couple walk past Gothic Bridge, Central Park, New York City, seemingly enjoying the transformation of the park and the bridge by the fallen snow, and the quiet empty expanse of untouched snow."

Diwakar Redhu: "A dog-walking moment captured right before the early evening winter sunset on Southsea seafront, Portsmouth."

Katie Clarke: "A competitor on the Spine Race, an epic non-stop race along the entire length of the Pennine Way."

Mark Careless: "A heavy air frost showing itself in different ways. Taken on a mini-break in East Yorkshire."

Graham Dobie: "A winter's walk in icy Perthshire."

Tilen Pecnik: "The picture was taken on the beautiful Velika Planina, Slovenia, the day after a heavy snowfall. Due to the low temperatures and the wind, the trees are covered in snow. Snow, clear sky and sun create a feeling of idyll and winter fairy tale."

Elizabeth Roach: "I was surprised that at sub-freezing temperatures these wild, Icelandic ponies were still curious enough to come and investigate our group of hikers."

Debbie Dragone: "Winter Hill is a local beauty spot overlooking the River Thames in Cookham. It is the perfect place for a winter walk."

Marius Voica: "Sunset with snow and fog in Transylvania."

Jane Elle: "Reindeer taking a winter walk over the Christmas cake!"

Fabio Geri: "Winter walks in a different kind of winter. Winter in the southern hemisphere in the Namib Desert [in southern Africa]."

Dr Kevin Privett: "Stile."

Louise Adele: "Found these two swans on the icy lake together whilst walking around one of my local country parks."

Roshan Khatri: "STOP Peeking."

Rachael Blakey: "Hiking in the back country of New Brunswick, Canada, during a snow storm."
