For number 27 if deemed worthy

2 Likes

Wednesday morning here in North Oxfordshire had the most stunning sunrise, frosty fields, moon in the sky, not a breath of wind - it was perfect. Except, a combination of walking a rumbustious dog, needing to get to work, etc etc it was not to be from a photographic point of view.

Before that, everywhere around had snow, but nothing convenient.

But, today, woo hoo, snow. The photo is not going to set the artistic world alight with excitement, but, nonetheless - #5 - Snowy Field

FOUR WEEKS REMAIN!

It’s not too late to enter :smiley:

But it was cold :joy:

All the tress around this morning and even a few pines but barely a snowflake on them - who’d have thought - will need to do better - and get more snow… :persevere:

Now that’s a great one to get - a 3 pointer :+1: should be a bonus point for real snow in the picture as well! :wink:

Cheers Brian.

I am guessing frozen water is ok? Can I also claim “Sunrise or Sunset, rising or setting through multiple trees” taken at 5.2m?
This was taken next to an abandoned church called St Peter’s in the Rushes. In the graveyard which is totally overgrown there a lots of really old slate grave stones from the early 1700’s. Apparently due to the muddy soil the villagers decided to relocate to firmer ground in the village Rempstone. This was on the main route from Loughborough to Nottingham, which had been turnpiked in 1737. St Peters was demolished and the “new” church All Saint’s was built in Rempstone with the stone from old St Peter’s, along with some new farms in the area. As many of the villagers had family graves at the old site, the grave yard continued to be used up until around the mid 1770’s.
