Winter wonderland

This weekend the snow arrived.  We woke up early to that hushed sound,  when you already sense the snow has fallen before you even look out the window. And then, after warming up with a morning coffee, I ventured out into the cold to walk through the snow and enjoy the landscape. I found a winter wonderland, frozen, white and glistening in the sunshine.

I thought I’d share a few of the images I captured during my walk.

There’s a small woodland nearby and the trees stood draped in powdery snow, the morning light doing its best to shine through the winter haze.

Carnmoney Hill

I made my way round to Carnmoney Hill that rises in the distance, close to where I live. As it was early, it was deserted. There was hardly a soul to be seen and the snow lay untouched, pristine and beautiful. Everything lay under a thick blanket of silent snow, as you can see from the pictures below. It almost felt other worldly to be honest. The snow, the stillness, the winter light all combining to create a magical winter wonderland. I imagine it’s the closest I’ll ever get to Narnia.

On my return

Then, as the cold started to bite, I turned to make my way home, my puffs of breath hanging in the air as I walked, my toes almost numb. I reached the woodland again where some children had come out to play in the snow. The scene felt rather magical as they laughed and threw snowballs at one another. I stopped to watch them briefly before crossing the road and stepping inside into the warmth again, enchanted by the winter wonderland I had just walked through.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you’ve enjoyed this wander through a winter wonderland. Have a lovely Sunday everyone.

Stay warm and safe in the snow
