fire and ice

I arrived at College Lake yesterday well-prepared for the chilly day. We are talking thermals and fleeces.

Suitably warm, it was a real pleasure to wander round a very quiet lake - the upper lake unfrozen, the lower lake, apart from a small area, totally frozen over.

The range of colours in the landscape, reduced anyway in winter, was reduced further, which meant that subtleties became more apparent - as well as bird tracks in the ice, which was frozen slush.

I hope you like the photos...
