Snow patterns

Having learnt to ski at the grand old age of 27 (!) I wouldn't have ever thought I would be able to go 'off-piste'. It's not something I get to do very often, the conditions have to be 'right'. I love being away from the crowd where there are few signs of infrastructure.
Last year we did a short run from the top of the mountain back down to the valley, a route the locals rattle down in double quick time. The day I got to go the landscape was so beautiful with snow wind blown into all sorts of magical shapes and patterns, I had to stop every 5 minutes to take a picture or 10! It took a very long time to get to the valley floor!
Winter woodland walks

I love walking in the woods at anytime of the year. In the winter when the trees are bare the shapes of the trunks and branches against the sky are what catch my eye. In the winter there is more of a feeling of light and space especially on a bright clear day.
A very different winter

Having been struck by the lurgie over the last couple of weeks, I've not been out much with my camera but I've had some time to look back at some of the pictures I took this time last year. It was a very different winter to this one, colder temperatures and lots of snow in the mountains. This image is a composite - the 'reflection' is created in my computer.
So you may be wondering why this picture is in the 'arty impressions' section of my website? Well, it's not a true, exact, faithful photograph. As mentioned above, the reflection has been created in post production so I think of this as being an impression of the view rather than a 'postcard' exact capture of the view.
