Frozen In

Ruthven Barracks, Kingussie, Scotland.

Not an image that will float everyones boat I suspect but it pleases me.

Ruthven Barracks is on a flood plain adjacent to the Insch marshes a bird watchers paradise. A small copse of birches swamped by inky black peaty water has frozen solid in recent icy weather the fractured surface encapsulating fallen leaves on or just below it's surface. I found the gentle rosy colour palette provided by a setting sun reflecting off the ice and the trunks of the grey/green lichen covered trees a very beautiful and beguiling colour combination.

There is a richness of color and pattern in this one that is compelling
