The snow in the field is not very deep but that is because the strong winds had blown it into deep drifts against boundary walls and in nearby lanes. On my walk on that particular day along the top section of Lily Lanes, I had to plunge through snow drifts three to four feet deep in places!
The black line separating the sky from the ground is actually a dry stone wall that runs along the top of the ridge.

Fantastic picture! The sun, the tower and the horse. Ought to be a story there somewhere.

Lovely picture - but brrrrr ! You look as chilly as we are in Alberta!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the positive comments! I only had one shot at this! I had spotted the composition offered by the tower and the horse and positioned myself to take what I thought was a good shot.
ReplyDeleteI would normally have taken more pictures, changing the position, angle, zoom, etc. so that I could later pick the best shot. However, after taking the first picture the horse started walking towards me, which is very nice but doesn't make for a good photo!
I did also manage to get some shots of the horse's companion at the bottom of the field, which I may post here later.
A very interesting photo with the green in the horizon.The pony needs a winter blanket! Brrr!
