A frosty morning at Southease - 17.1.2013

The Sussex Ouse runs between raised banks in a straight line across the scene, just beyond the electricity pylon. The water in the foreground is a series of ponds, fuller than usual, as a result of the recent rains. This was taken from the point at which the South Downs Way reaches the valley, having descended from Itford Hill. The southern end of Southease village can be seen towards the right on the far side of the valley.

Not a scene with much of a focal point, but an illustration of why I have grown to enjoy travelling through the South Downs area, with the clouds dappling the patchwork of the fields.

This box was green, when we came down in 2009, went red briefly and is now green again! A red one, near our house, when we lived in London, was reputedly a listed building. I have just discovered one in one of my Rye photos is definitely a listed building on the English Heritage register. As it is green, this may no longer be a BT (British Telecomms) phonebox, but its certainly has been in the past.
