Frost

Here are some seasonal images taken at Weston Turville Reservoir at the end of a bitterly cold, sunny day in early January. As the sun went down and the temperature, which had struggled to rise much above zero, began to plummet, the frost clad vegetation was bathed in a soft afternoon light that enhanced it's subtle rusty hues, creating an almost impressionistic effect. It was a beautiful and memorable scene but for sake of our already embattled wildlife (and my heating bill!), I hope that this winter will be a little more benign!
