Up the road, late afternoon.

Black trees loom up out of a black road.  Car headlights look warm and pale golden against the bluish monochrome of the fading snow.  It'll be good to get home.

The shadow portrait is beautiful, Lucy. Poignant, evocative - heartwarming, too.

Glad you like it Martha, thanks as ever for looking in.

What a way you have with words. I could almost feel the chill in the air as you head for home.
Warm regards,

What makes snow bluish?
I was looking at all of my snow photos from the day, and they definitely have that blue shadow to them.

At this time of year, you can go out in the afternoon and return at night . . . just in the space of an hour's walk!
