The Winter Sun

Trees in the winter sunDovestones Reservoir is a man-made reservoir in the Chew Valley area outside Oldham, Lancashire. It is a popular place to go for a walk and is also used by a small watersports centre. I went for a walk around it one November afternoon with my dad. Naturally I took my camera and tripod on the hope of getting a good photo. The skies were clear, the weather icy and cold with a small glaze of frost covering the grass in the shadows.

There’s a large group of boulders, popular with climbers, just off the path near the water sports centre’s carpark. By hiding the sun behind the trees I was able to take this photo, with the trees and small rise in the ground preventing the frost from melting.

About James

I'm just a person who likes writing software in their spare time. I'm not an "indie games developer" and am not trying to escape my day job and live in the happy world of games dev. I'm more like one of those people that used to write games in their spare time in the 80s. My stuff would be PD or Shareware if this were the 80s or 90s. It's good to comment on the posts in here :)
