This photo was taken in January on one of the rare sunny evenings we had during very heavy and prolonged snowy weather which caused us to be snowed in for six days. I love the way the sun bathes the snow in orange light.

This has been posted for week 3 of ‘The Gallery‘ – Tara’s virtual art gallery. For more information pop over to Sticky Fingers.

This week’s prompt was ‘Colour’.

  2. That is stunning. You can almost see your breath in front of your face and feel the icy air nipping at your face. I loved the snow too. Maybe if we keep getting more of it we’ll be able to live with it more easily. 😀

  7. Wonderful picture. There is nothing better than a snowy day with brililant sunshine, and you were so clever to catch the sunset at that moment.

  10. Wow! That’s stunning! We caught the sun looking like that last weekend. Sadly the rest of the scenery wasn’t so pretty – the M6, out of a moving car doesn’t make for such a great picture!

    1. Thank you, That’s a shame about y0ur picture….there’s always cropping though. ;0) Most of mine turn out badly, it always looks differently to how you expect it too.

  13. Such a beautiful photo, and yet….it makes me sad. Why is that? Maybe because the days are so short and I can see the darkness coming…crap, don’t tell any passing psychologists!

    Posted on March 17, 2010 at 1:38 pm
    1. Awww, don’t be sad. Are you not in the UK? I will go and have a look. The clocks change here soon which makes the evenings longer…phew because I have just about had enough of long dark nights. And don’t worry about the psychologists….ssshhh, I wouldn’t want them trawling through my blog .;0)

      1. I live in The South near Atlanta. I spend my days wafting about in crinolines (jeans), drinking mint juleps (merlot) and receiving gentleman callers (the plumber).

    1. It does doesn’t it. Must admit I did enjoy the ‘snow days’ we had though. It was a lovely extra long winter’s holiday. ;0)

  17. Lovely picture. You can feel how cold it is, how crispy the air, how crackly the sound of your footprints. I love days like that!

    1. What a great description. I think I was one of the few people that enjoyed ( most of the time) the snow.
