Golden views

All bundled up for a wintry walk.

The sighing of the setting sun

Paints the trees with gold.

A lone skater – on thin ice – whizzes by,

Lone skater

His singing skates echoed

By the honking farewells of the last swans of winter.

  18. Your words touch me as much as your gorgeous photos. It is rare, a poet and a photographer. “The sighing of the setting sun,” you know, I watch the sun set behind the mountains almost every night, and your words perfectly capture that moment i time, the sun sighs as it sets, after a long day and a job well done.

  74. The golden light softly adds a warmth to the otherwise cold wintry images. The first two shots are definitely my favorites, but how marvelous to catch birds in flight across the sky.

  77. Oh Fiona these are glorious shots! That first photo is just breathtaking – the warm colours belying the icy chill that I know is there. What a brave skater to try out the ice already – or maybe he’s been waiting and waiting for this chance all winter.
