A Winter's tale

A Winter's tale
Winter has finally arrived with some snow on my home town of Oldham's high ground. A scene towards 'Austerlands' from Waterhead, where frost snow and mist start to blend together as one. A mighty cold morning, but as always with these, rewarding if one can only pluck up the courage to go out and capture it.

Perfect on full screen.

Good to see you here Colin. We too are in the fog today but unlike yesterday there is no sign of the sun and most of the hoarfrost has gone too. A very excellent photographic day was had yesterday by me around here, providing more shots to share on Ipernity. - I now see that you captured the snow and hoarfrost too. Great stuff.

Cheers, Herb

Brrrrr............I can feel the cold just looking at this Herb. This is a wonderful winter landscape.

I love the house and barn shrouded in cloud and mist..........it's amazing how much a fall of snow changes the landscape. I really like the contrasting foreground as well...........sharp and detailed.

Beautifully done Sir.

A long way from your seaside shots Keith. Now and then there is some advantage for me living in the 'grim north' and yesterday's walk was one of them. Hundreds of photos with many great shots of which you will see more here soon.
As you say here, it can get pretty cold in weather like this and I would not have liked being a horse here. Quite a change from the normal green views I have from near here too. Glad you liked it.

I think you will have more snow than this Ulrich but being able to walk over this sort of countryside is a reward for us living here in Northern England. Very happy that you enjoyed this.

A remarkably snowy scene, Herb. Such a contrast to our current hot summer!

George, I must have some compensation for not having your gorgeous black skies and wonderful coastline. I know its pretty hot down under, from tales by our mutual friend Steve in Perth. Maybe this will help cool you down. Glad you liked it.

We have to do these things when the conditions are right. Fortunately as being a retiree I can do as I please for these shots on most days. I know the day will come when i can no longer run out in these conditions with my camera. Thanks for the visit and comment. ~ Herb

Cheers Andy. I believe there was some more snow whilst I was away in Cyprus :) Nice to look at but as you say chilly on the old bones nowadays.
