3rd March 2006 silent white blanket

There was complete silence.
Even the sheep were quiet,
wearing slightly bemused expressions.
I went back up alone in the evening,
the stones were nearly buried
and the snow was up to my waist up there in the drifts.
But the absolute stillness and peace were breathtaking.

Nikon D50
1/2500s f/8.0 at 55.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

The silence certainly is conveyed in your images. These pics are absolutely beautiful.

It's been a long time since I felt that stillness in the snow, reading your comments helped me to remember that thanks.

Pics not bad either hehe. Love the clouds behind the trees v>

What kind of trees are those, by the way?
Coleen Perilloux Landry04-Mar-2006 05:05
As soon as I saw it I thought "silence." Beautiful.

Excellent shot. I do admit that when I saw the thumb i thought it was sandy beaches and trees near the ocean.

Nice landscape. I like the clouds behind the trees.

The silence is in the pics as well. Fantastic winter landscape. You should send a handfull of snow to Zak, he is longing for it.
Jackdad03-Mar-2006 23:37
snow up to your waist? Heheh I would have been tempted to try the old upside-down-wellies shot. ;-)

Nice lines in the composition leading to the tree shapes.
Guest 03-Mar-2006 23:34
The starkness is heartstopping :O
~V!~
Linda Alstead03-Mar-2006 23:34
superb....and clearly windy or those trees would have snow on the branches too
Bob Floyd03-Mar-2006 23:31
Maybe time for me to move. This is beautiful and you have captured not just a photo of it but a bit of it's soul, I think.
Gail Davison03-Mar-2006 23:24
Hope you wrapped up warm. Beautifully done. vote.

Really showing how strong the trees are. They aren't phazed by the snow, and nor are you it seems :)
Herb 03-Mar-2006 23:19
Nice image
James Ross03-Mar-2006 23:18
Good one! I see the snow doesn't stop all from getting around. ;-)
