Late Spring Sunset 2021
Spring Sunset
Are you still looking up over a year on from the first England lockdown? I hope so. And, if you are, then you’ll most likely have seen the recent wonderful late-Spring sunsets. There have been some vibrant pinks and oranges on display: quite breath-taking at times.
Into the Copper Wood
Copper Wood of Thrunton
About three weeks ago, I talked a little about beech leaves still clinging to their branches during winter and how their copper-coloured leaves loom out from the dark backdrop of shady woodland. They make great photos:

The Skies Have It
The skies or the sky?
Singular of plural? Mmm…is there just one sky or are there many skies?
I suppose it depends on your perspective. Lying on your back looking up into a completely dark sky can surely make you feel that you’re lying under the enormous globe of just one sky. But…
My Golden Dene
Snow-covered golden Dene
It’s taken a long time for the snow to leave the floor of Breamish Valley. We’ve had icy conditions since 3 January this year and snow on the Cheviots pretty much from the beginning of the New Year too. But, with the slight rise in temperature over the last couple of days, the snow has now more or less melted from the valley floor. However, some snow is still clinging to the backdrop of the Cheviot Hills.
Catch the Sun
Catch the sun in winter
As is commonly understood, the sun is low in the sky for us here in the northern hemisphere during the winter months. We have shorter days and a ‘weak’ sun that never gets high above our heads. This creates long shadows and, depending on the atmospheric conditions, anything from a mellow golden light towards the evenings and blue hues throughout the day. Add snow to the mix and, as the sunlight reflects off the snow, this creates other interesting visual effects.

The boundaried landscape
Am I being kept in? Or out?
Deja Vu
Seeing deja vu again
What goes around… Groundhog day! Been there, seen that… Déjà vu!
Summer Sunset

Well, after all the seeming drabness of lockdown, even the skies are beginning to reward us with their colours.
