It was an unearthly world we awoke to this morning, petrified trees ghosting from a pale freezing fog, crystal rimed and ice-stricken. A spectral land of mists, silent with no birds flying but one, a lone crow-shadow like a shrouded spirit across my path.There were so many beautiful ghostly pictures I wanted to take as I drove to work through the wooded lanes, but there always seemed to be someone behind me so I couldn't stop, and we live more or less in the middle of nowhere!
Here's a few shots of the incredibly thick hoar frost...
And it didn't thaw all day, this is the first one again this evening! It has an unearthly beauty but it does nake for treacherous driving, especially out in the lanes... so if you're out driving about, do take care! And keep warm!
Carrie, I loved your photographs, the rose hips with the spikey shapes....magical. The trees look do look ghostly. And of course oak leaves always look so beautiful whatever time of year or colour they happen to be.
ReplyDeleteWe have frost inside our bedroom windows! It is so pretty but as you say country lanes are treacherous. You look colder than us, take care driving. Really enjoyed seeing your frosty pictures. milly
