As we approach the shortest day of the year – it’s the winter solstice in five days time – the light in the early morning has a deep, blue cast to it, especially when there is clean snow and ice on the ground. It’s simple enough to remove the cast using software such as Capture One when processing the images and make the snow a pristine white, but occasionally it is effective to leave it untouched as it lends a certain atmosphere to the scene, enhancing the bitter cold. This was taken along the shoreline not long after sunrise as the river irrevocably froze over until next spring.

Is there no end to your talents and abilities, Richard? Your pages are both fascinating and educational. What a pity that some of us (perhaps just me), can only marvel and enjoy. Thank you both, for bringing a different World to our attention. Thank you also for your lovely ‘card’
Warmest regards, not only for Christmas and the New Year, but for the colder days ahead. However, the toboggan, and perhaps skis and snowshoes, should help in keeping you warm. Wise ;Buster’!
Bob, Joan and Rogue
All the best to the three of you … Rogue, keep them under control and make sure you get turkey on Monday.
