From The Sublime To The Ridiculous

near Notgrove, Glos. view map

Yesterday we had beautiful blue skies and a piercing easterly wind...this morning, we woke up to a leaden grey outlook and heavy overnight snowfalls across the whole of the region. At least this weather gives us something to talk about in the Post Office queue!

In there somewhere is a road-sign proclaiming "Not Suitable For Motors" ....you're not kidding!

Wow, that is a lot of snow!

Looks like someone (Mother Nature) is against blue signs!

Barbara Heide		03-Feb-2009 00:49
lol! a subtle hint of blue... sticks out in the natural colours overall... love the atmosphere

Great job, nice hint of blue! Nice entry.

Laryl		02-Feb-2009 23:12
what cold weather.. fantastic shot, I can't imagine being cold all winter anymore.

Richard Chapman		02-Feb-2009 22:07
The snow has covered a few of the things I had in mind for "bue" shots - but as you have shown here that needn't be a showstopper... Very nicely done.

malcolm haslam		02-Feb-2009 21:23
Fantastic hint of blue there Doug...very well taken.

Máire Uí Mhaicín		02-Feb-2009 21:21
Did you get blue with the cold as you took this shot? A very fine touch of blue.

Walter Otto Koenig		02-Feb-2009 21:15
Minimal blue. So you're still carrying on from January?

Phillip Normanton		02-Feb-2009 20:46
Hmmm, as they've painted the sign over, it must be suitable for motors now... looks a bit like my (first) trip to work this morning :)

Johnny JAG		02-Feb-2009 20:28
Clear that sign, or you'll be overrun!

Mairéad		02-Feb-2009 19:46
A nice touch of blue peeping through. Keeping my fingers crossed for snow - it's forecast but hasn't arrived yet.

J. Scott Coile		02-Feb-2009 19:01
Mid 60s Far. here yesterday. "S" word today. I know I left that blue sign around here somewhere ;-)

Pete Hemington		02-Feb-2009 18:55
Nice one Doug - the snow has even arived in Devon. Hope you get a chance to do some more.

Steve Highfield		02-Feb-2009 18:51
The same conditions here in Cheshire, Doug !

jlm		02-Feb-2009 18:24

Dawn McKenzie-Wykes		02-Feb-2009 18:18
Wow, just look at that!..and we are sitting here swealtering in the heat!. (New Zealand)great shot!

Guest		02-Feb-2009 17:49
It definitely counts! That's a familiar site around here!! :)

Russ Rose		02-Feb-2009 17:06
Does the road sign tell us where you are???? good way to hide the location. Nice shot.

Linda Willets		02-Feb-2009 16:57
Great touch of blue.

Maaike Huizer		02-Feb-2009 16:51
Of course it counts. Very subtle.

globalgadabout		02-Feb-2009 16:41
