The Bare Bones of Winter

The chill of winter matches the iciness which has gripped the hearts of
this community since the shooting dead of Garda Adrian Donohoe on Friday night.
I'm behind with commenting as I'm not really in the mood for being sociable but will catch up soon.

Nicely done. I like the arrangement of the branches which almost seem to be forming a dome. The transition of the background from water to light sky to dark sky adds some interest, though having the majority of the branches against that thick, dark cloud makes for a very dramatic effect.

The mood is somber but very beautiful. Sorry for this sad time.

I like the starkness of this scene, very wintry in feeling and quite appropriate for this sad time. V.

stark and dark, this strikes an appropriate chord...it seems the officer was ruthlessly murdered...sad times, particularly in your area..

Terrible and senseless tragedy. Very nice image.

Life can be so depressing but you managed to find a soothing, quiet image to restore peace in people's hearts.

A beautiful but somber image for a sad time. Terrible news.

Sorry to hear about your local news, just looked it up on Irish Times online after reading your text. As Brian says, catch up when you feel like doing so.

Phillip Normanton		27-Jan-2013 21:26
Looks like paint running down canvas

The weeds etched against that pewter sky make for a sombre image, only made more so by your words. V

Brian Samuel		27-Jan-2013 21:19
A picture that clearly says 'winter' and looks so good doing so. Don't worry about catching-up, just come back when you are ready.

Johnny JAG		27-Jan-2013 21:12
A solemn scene to match your mood. Some people will never be happy with peace.

I love this scene so gentle and calm. v.
