We are expecting 8-12 inches of fresh snow, and up to a quarter inch of ice, in the next 24 hours, so I went out yesterday while the sun was shining on a short photo-prowl. The light has changed over the past week. There is more warmth in the sun, and it does interesting things with the snow. Here, where the wind off the sea has thined and sculpted what was about 4 inches of fresh snow on Monday, the contrast with the warm tones of the exposed rock makes a striking composition. The clouds over the sea complete the picture. I walked out along Gouch’s point through drifts in my winter Crocs to get the shot, but it was worth a slightly damp ride home.
