Down the lane

Here's a few photos from this morning as mentioned in the last post ...

The view from my patio this morning when the sun was shining on the embankment.

Snow on conifer

At the top of the lane

Looking over the crappy fields

The Tree - again

Car tracks already forming the glistening compressed skid-pan for tonight/tomorrow


Pretty sure these are Rabbit tracks - one going each way

Each Rabbit print looked like the tongue-out emoticon

More rural than I imagined your location to be Mark. Looking good....

Ah - it's all camera trickery Stewart ...

What you can't see is that just behind the embankment adjacent to my garden is an industrial estate, and behind that is the M1 motorway.

To be fair, we are at the arse end of a suburban estate and I can be down the lane and in a rural setting within a couple of minutes. All pretty sterile stuff though.

If you have a spare couple of minutes, cut n paste this long URL and you'll see what I mean.
