But actually it was taken earlier this week – and it is clear to see the effects of the mild winter that has been in the county.

It was Somewhere over the Rainbow in Coalbrookdale, where amateur snapper Ashley Burrage captured this picture.

The 23-year-old, who lives in Coalbrookdale and works at the Ironbridge Gorge Museum, took the shot during a get-together with colleagues in the Gorge.

Mr Burrage said: "I looked outside and I saw this picture. It was only on my phone. I like to take pictures and put them on Twitter and Facebook for other people to see."
