Okay it is a, one day past, full moon & when we have a full moon this time of the year & clear skies it is normally a frost. BUT, woke up to a thin layer of snow at our level & loads on the hills. So can we say this is the start of winter, or, just a hic-cup in Autumn? lets hope it is just the latter, as really this could be a looooong Winter.
Having such a good light (the golden hour to photographers) I wanted to capture this for you all. But just out of bed, zero degrees Centigrade, wind factor making it a lot colder, there was no chance of me going out in my dressing gown for a photo. So logically, the best view was from the bedroom (apart from the electric cables in a couple of shots) opening the bedroom window was the way to get the shots. Now the bedroom was snug & warm with the wife sitting up reading, so in order to get my shots the window had to be open to the elements as short as possible. From the reaction, maybe I wasn’t quiet quick enough :).
But I got the shots I wanted, first & second are looking North from the window, what I find strange is that our side of the hills looks thickish snow but the wind was blowing from the North, so the last shot (looking South) should in theory have more snow on it, but it hasn’t. Maybe one of you educated lot can tell me why this is?
Lets hope we do not get any more snow until at least December 24th & it is a mild Winter, as us oldies still have to clear the driveway of snow.
