Although 2020 ended (perhaps appropriately) with a grim day of cold, grey and wet weather, there have been some beautiful winter days at the back of December here in the north east of Scotland. Snow has come and gone, then fallen again - transforming the landscape each time.
Hard frosts have created transient and beautiful sculptures.....
......some like pale fireworks, lasting only until the low winter sun melts the frost. As ever, I've found escape and respite during this most extraordinary and difficult year in the beauty and opportunity of what's close at hand. We end the year in what amounts to a lockdown with travel and social contact with loved ones and friends curtailed - as has been the case been for much of 2020. Hopefully 2021 will see an emergence from the pandemic which has so dominated this year.
And so, as the year closes - from these guys and from me, I wish you health, peace and happiness in the coming year
