Snow walk to the Pike.

Snow walk to the Pike.
We can see this local monument from our windows. To get there, it is a 60 minute walk or a short car ride. In the depth of winter, it is another story altogether, as you can see, my once walked country lane that I traveled –completely blocked by deep snow and drifts. The fence here-part of the scene as well.

This was actually taken in 2010. A little too nice to be left languishing and so its nice to present it back here in our HFF group. Enjoy full size on black.
HFF, have a great weekend.

Beautifully taken and great light, Herb. Looking at this large and viewing the snowdrifts, I think you'd even have a hard time getting anywhere on skis! p

Herb Riddle club has replied to tiabunna club
Thanks George. Yes the road getting to this lane was completely blocked too resulting in a hard slog for me but the results were worth it as I took a interesting shots on this outing a few years ago now. As you say, skis would have been useless here -snow shoes a better option.

What a beautiful view, Herb, a lot of snow. We are still waiting, this Winter, we had only snow on the mountains.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Daniela Brocca club
Hi Daniela, it was a fine view and opportunity for me for sure. In fact this was taken in 2010 and was in dear olf Panoramio too. A little too nice to be left languishing and so its nice to present it back here in our HFF group. You have escaped then, so far. On our aeroplane over central Europe and Greece recently, everywhere seemed to be covered by deep snow. Glad you liked this anyway.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Ah yes, like me, I often wonder about a photograph and then find the answers in replies on the same page. I supposed I could have written its history in the description but I wanted to keep the illusion for a while longer. I missed the heavy snows around here which happened a couple of weeks back and the nearest to that was the very light snow and frost depicted in my recent photos on here. Anyway, very happy that you have still enjoyed this one and I still have more snow and ice fence shots to come :)

I wish you HFF and a great weekend, Herb

Hi Herb

I like this composition very much!

Great lighting effects and beautiful photograph, as always.

Not convinced about the 'date taken' though, but I know if ipernity doesn't see a date in the EXIF (or no EXIF), it defaults to todays date.. And as I didn't see any EXIF.........

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi Peter, thanks for this and of course you voice what I often do too. As said a few times above (especially to Daniella) this is in fact one from the archives. I even think I had it on Panoramio. In fact this was taken in 2010. A little too nice to be left languishing and so its nice to present it back here in our HFF group.I often wonder about a photograph and then find the answers in replies on the same page. I supposed I could have written its history in the description but I wanted to keep the illusion for a while longer. I missed the heavy snows around here which happened a couple of weeks back whilst I was in Cyprus and the nearest to that, was the very light snow and frost depicted in my recent photos on here. Anyway, I hope you forgive me Peter. Glad you liked it anyhow.

Thanks Kes. Yes, unlike this year 2010 was very snowy indeed. My local historical monument here. It was in fact a cafe for some years. Yes it has two floors of accommodation (of sorts). It was floodlit for a few years before vandals smashed all the lights!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Hi Carol, not snow of this year but nine years ago! Our snowfalls nowadays are rarely as deep as this although we had a lot last year too. This years heavy snow came and went whilst we were in Cyprus. However there is still time, a lot of our snows come at the end of February .

Belated HFF to you too, enjoy the rest of this Sunday. Herb
