Different day!
Very messy sunrise
Not an abstract
Not many frosts this winter although it’s been consistently cold.
Whispery clouds
Flaming sunrises have been more common
I think this was a snow cloud
We had a decent snow fall – now a rare event
We have also had some very big clear skies when the moon is visible even when it’s quite small
Nothing like the red orange grey blue contrast in this sunset

It’s February so it’s Vikings in York

This time of the year you can encounter fully armed Vikings strolling through the city of York even picking up their Cornish pasties at Cooplands the bakers (I missed that pic opportunity).

Intermission 24e

Early winter has been quite dry in fact very dry with the first real rain in weeks falling as snow which again is rather early for this time of year.

The sunsets have continued to be stunning

Typically the west side of England is wetter than the east side – the lakes in the Lake District never dry out in theory as Atlantic westerlies dump their rain before climbing over the Pennines. And November can be very wet, cold and windy. But then again it can be a very dry month! So when a fine day comes along…….

The lakes on a dry sunny day – where else would you be?
Lake Windermere on a fine November day at noon
Moon pics have in contrast to sunsets been a bit in short supply – this evening shot does not quite convey how the moon made the sky almost feel like daylight

Those pesky brushes……..

My miniatures painting has been non existent since spring and now I can tell you why…..

Well not exactly. Here are some clues as to where they went or rather the hand that operates them!

See if you can solve the seven clues and location before the next post in a few days.
