Second Day of Christmas

Feeling slightly over nourished today, I decided to take a brisk walk. Nothing particularly special in that really, but compared with yesterday the countryside seemed quite deserted. It’s quite amazing what a difference a cloud or two make, but ideal for shooting skies with a bit of character.

In an attempt to give today’s posting a Yuletide feeling I decided to include these logs which. together with the ‘Dramatic Sky’ were converted to Black & White from a colour image. The colour Landscape was included to give a splash of colour to this Second Day of Christmas posting.

First Day of Christmas

A Very Happy Christmas to all my readers, and a very warm welcome to my very latest project ‘Twelve days of Christmas’  Quite an original title hehehe 😉

Thinking that most people have been inundated with images of candles, Christmas trees and all things festive recently, I thought I’d just publish a few completely normal everyday scenes. But don’t worry, I’ll probably post a tree in a day or to two.
