View from the bridge

Wintery chill.
Wonderfully still.
Solitude with nature.

Stunning pictures Elaine. You can almost feel the chill (and the stillness) looking at them

Thank you, Sophie. I was so entranced by the light and stillness I wasn't aware of the finger-numbing chill until I'd finished taking the photographs. Then I trotted home quickly for a restorative cup of eggnog.

[Note to anyone who read an early version of this post: I deleted the quote from Steppenwolf. Though the language is beautiful and aptly described the moment, I don't want to imply my internal state is the same as the story's protagonist -- in case anyone might worry about me :-).]

It looks very beautiful, but cold. So different to the warm humid weather here, and certainly more appropriate weather for Christmas food.

Hello, Arwen. Thank you for your visit and comment at this busy time of year.

I've never been in a warm climate during Christmas. And yes, the cold makes one hungry for hearty food.

I hope you have a lovely -- and delicious -- Christmas Season.
