Through thick and thin, our pets are always by our side and the joy of a morning walk can start the day off right.

Our weekly challenge this week was ‘mood’. Iwitness members contributed their interpretation of the topic in a number of different ways. Paul Bustin beautifully captured the solemn mood of a cold winter’s morning with this simplistic black and white shot. An everyday occurrence for some people that is warmly received by man’s best friend. Thanks to Paul Bustin for taking this shot and uploading it to iwitness24.
