Snow scenes like these are enough of a rarity round here to justify getting out to make the most of it and capture a few pictures. (It has all disappeared now and we have relentless rain.) The canal (from Hirst Lock) looked really peaceful and pretty.
The river (from the footbridge near Hirst Lock) was a little more swollen and turbulent. From this spot, you can just see the New Mill chimney in the distance.
A little further out from Saltaire, the scenes looked even prettier. Trench Meadows and the fields around Milner Field farm were white over. There were the usual geese, still trying to graze through the snow and I saw a couple of deer bound across the Upper Coach Road, though too fast for me to get a photo before they disappeared from sight.
All very pretty - like delicate pencil drawings. Our landscape down here looks more like the result of allowing a toddler loose with too much brown paint!
ReplyDeleteDon't kids go sledging any more? We were poor, and used upside down car bonnets!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful that you've found these scenes to capture. I'm bemoaning the greyness of today here. The crystal white snow does help a lot!
ReplyDeleteA winter wonderland.
