Freezing Spires – Loch Morlich, Glenmore.
Taken a few days ago just before New Year, on a day of sparkling frost crystals and fantastic air clarity with a daytime high temperature of -9C. The loch was completely frozen over (and perfectly skiable…) except for the outflow, pictured here. The surface was steaming like a hot spring with its comparative warmth (not that I fancied a swim – I left that to the ducks).
We have had snow building up day after day now for a full two weeks, with more fresh snow over New Year. Walking anywhere is just about impossible – skis are the best way to get about!
My photographic resolution: to become more technically proficient; for that technique to become transparent so the artistic idea shines through more clearly; to allow the intuition of being in the right place at the right time and to follow the inspiration of each moment.
Happy New Year!
