Winter’s freezing dawn
Creates an abstract work of art;
Trees rise ghostly
In deliciously cold lilac dresses;
And the ancient church
Floats in clouds of pink.
Cold and startling and beautiful —
Another gift from nature.

Nice colours! The soft tones really make these photos! I like your use of vignettes too! Is that edited in or is it original?

I’ve upped the contrast a little as I shoot in RAW but notice that there is a faint vignette even in the original.

It is wonderful that you can make the wide open spaces of your Northern landscape into works of delicate art when ‘Nordic Drama’ on my TV makes it seem that there is nothing but doom and gloom and darkness.

Fiona’ do you know what causes that kind of light? The light where you live always fascinates me. Perhaps it’s a stupid question. But as I say I’m always fascinated by it.

I do believe there is something special about the northern light.
In these shots, the pink is caused by the rising sun breaking through the fog.

Re your comment, ladyfi: England isn’t quite as incapable of dealing with the snow as it seems from my post. It’s just us who can’t get out because our drive is on a slope and another hump and another slope and through a field. You can’t see the edges of the field and the humps ice up. we don’t have a 4×4, which would make getting out a lot easier. The road through the village gets cleared – eventually – and we’d be okay if we could get to it.
