Piethorne in the frost

A fitting start to my photo outings of 2024 and a rare touch of sunshine along with a cold frosty morning brings us back to this local reservoir. I have been here many times but not in this weather. I like the soft tones here and even the power-lines look exactly right, almost touching the roof of that building. The PiP shows another view taken just over three years ago.

It was about 2C. A nice 5-6km walk around here.

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

Always a good walk, with a few reservoirs in a line. However one of my favourite (Norman Hill) now has been made in-accessible with a giant locked gate, for some reason. A real pity. Never been in the pub you mention here. That being said, we always walk up and down the steep stony lane from the top A372 and park across from an excellent pub/restaurant that we must try some day. I used to go in for a pint many years back. - Glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers. Herb

The water looks very calm Herb. I like to see a scene as it really is, so the power lines are fine for me. A beautiful frosty image and lovely colours.

Sunday greetings, Rosa.

A cool but rewarding walk Rosa. I liked the silence that this scene conveys. Always good that you like my landscapes.

Beautiful winter light, especially on the water..........and a lovely sky Herb. This scene gives off a calm and peaceful ambience.

I like the frosty grass in the foreground and the pylons and power lines don't bother me at all.

A cracking shot!

Seeing the image in the PiP again is a pleasant reminder of your earlier visit.

I too liked the silence apparent in this scene. A bit of frost often gives a certain ambiance Keith, as you know. My pleasure to share that PiP again.

Regards. Herb
