Just a few images from the first snowfall a few days ago. The light was incredibly flat with no directionality so it had a grey feel to everything. All the images are in colour, but I am tempted to convert them all to black and white and see how they look then. I haven’t completely colour corrected the images? as well as I quite like the slight blue tinge that I got from using Daylight White Balance on the camera. I did have to tone it down a bit, but full colour correction made the image too warm looking and nothing like what it looked or felt like at the time.
I was surprised that I was the only person around Arthur’s Stone for nearly all the morning even though the parking area was quite full. They had all decided to go sledging and had found a slope the other side of the road.
My favourite set of trees has been reduced to three now. One had succumbed to the autumn weather and had fallen over. I did notice though that on my way back to the car, although I did have to do a double take, ?somebody had re-erected the tree with a pile of snow to support it.
The horses were having a difficult time finding some grazing, but they had developed a technique of clearing some snow from the base of clumps of grass with their forelegs. This allowed them to graze a few mouthfuls every now and then. They seemed quite happy in the conditions otherwise and all seemed to have a good thick winter coat ready for our winter weather.
