R.G. Loc: Scotland

I hope you are all having an enjoyable Christmas and looking forward to the new year.

This scene will look familiar to some of you because I posted a similar shot (without the snow) in the post processing section a while back. This is about as bad as the snow has been this year so far, but I've no doubt that'll change.....

And some sunshine! :thumbup:

This is such a pleasing landscape composition for me - open spaces and a road that leads us on new adventures. Beautifully captured, R.G.

Lovely download. Both the colors and composition are very pleasing. Well done!

Thanks everybody for the comments. If I shoot it in deep snow, that should give me the whole set :-) .

I hope the season's being kind to you.

A very nice shot RG, I look forward to seeing the deep-snow version. Far too warm for the time of year down here on the South Coast, and the chances of snow photos are always minimal! Happy New Year to you.

Thanks Magnetoman, and a happy new year to you when it comes.

Apparently there's some place in the UK (the name escapes me just now) where the temperature on the shortest day (which we've just had) was exactly the same as the temperature on the longest day. I'm not complaining - I just hope that there aren't any nasty surprises waiting for us :-) .

I can remember being sent down to Dorset to do a hook-up on a land-based oil rig back in the 80s in the middle of January. I spent a night in a hotel in Dorchester and had to sleep with the window open because it was so warm. It probably wasn't exceptionally warm, but I'd got acclimatised to our Scottish winter by that time.

Getting a deep snow version of the shot won't be without its hazards. That hill's as steep as it looks, and those dark mounds at the side of the road aren't giant molehills :? .
