The respite from the cold lasted barely two days, since when the frost has been bitter and beautiful. I was determined to walk in the daylight and managed to be on the Ridgeway west of Aldbury to capture these pictures as the light faded. As the sun set the utter beauty of the empty landscape shining under the hoar was total. Lights winked on in the distance as I headed home.
Your pictures never fail to take my breath away, hit me with a little pang of homesickness right between the shoulder blades. Thank you for posting these. I love the December rime!
ReplyDeleteDear Tedsmum,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely posted a comment about an hour ago which seems to have disappeared. This photos take my breath away. My mamma lives on top of the hill in the background of the first picture. They make me enormously but happily homesick and I'm afraid I've nicked a picture (crediting you of course) for my blog. Thank you so much for posting them.
