The Second Heavy Snows

Again these have not been played with – some were taken before dawn or sunrise over Dartmoor, again with one eye out of commission.

The One Eyed Splendor of Snow

Having had problems with one eye I am reduced to momocular vision, and it is my photographing eye that is wearing the pirates patch, I still wanted to get the splendor of the snow, so here is one lot after the first 4 inch fall, the additional 5 inches will follow later. Because using the computer is very dificult, I need new glasses and I cant have them untill my bad eye recovers – 6 weeks so everything is blurred – these images are as taken, no Lightroom or Photoshop!

Frosty Morning

Well, I managed to get up and get out with the camera today, must be all the winter vitamin tablets! One of the heaviest frosts I can remember in a long time. It was interesting as the the trees were white from the frost but only at lower levels, so that there was a colour inversion, the normal white moors were coloured and the coloured trees were white!

Misty Morning

I managed to get up and out yesterday, the sun and mist were too tempting, and although well below freezing it was dry. A short walk to a Milleneum Green and views across Dartmoor and Plymouth produced the following! I like the way that the views are almost cardboard cutouts …………

ICE!

After one of the coldest nights for a while – a walk along the Tamar and up into the woods produced a series of chilled photos! The river had frozen at the edges during hightide leaving the ice as it lowered…..

Snow!

November snow on Dartmoor. This was at least 3 days after it had snowed, and photographed from several miles away on a very cold Sunday afternoon. Also, a couple of local headgerow finds!

Tamar Morning!

I happened to be on another part of the Tamar River on a cold, freezing and snowy morning and although the snow had not reached this part it was still frozen. The mist was very light but just enough to soften the watery sun. The field mushroom, if that is what it is was a frozen 7 inch disk! The river was very still, hence the reflections and the overhead cables just got in the way but did produce a strange effect!

Autumn Colours!

This year has been amazing – and still is, although last night the wind blew and the rain rained so a lot of leaves fell. This set is just to show the colours in the Tamar and Tavy Valleys. Sadly the sky has been gray for most of the time!
