Perhaps not exactly typical weather for this time of year, but nonetheless what I'd consider to be archetypal frosty winter weather. Foggy too, enabling one a rare direct glimpse of the sun.

Lovely pictures......
Similar to my own country, though here I have ponds rather than rivers, drainage pipes and ditches off the crop fields, stables and horses, or in the more remote woodlands Redwings, Fieldfares, and birds of prey.... the Pinkfooted Geese skein across in large or small groups... -
Sounds good. There were travellers' horses in these fields over Christmas. Other times there are cows. Occasionally I'll see a bird of prey.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostComment

One of my favourite pieces of Takemitsu. Much as I love most of his music, I tend to go most for those early, serially organised works over the late ones which to me seem over-indebted to Messiaen's harmonic approach as well as overdoing the saccharine, on occasion!Originally posted by Joseph K View PostThanks, a thanks for the Takemitsu, which I'm enjoying a lot.Comment

Fantastic photos, JK, thanks for sharing them.
There is a fabulous winter garden at Mottisfont near us , which is an absolute joy at this time of year. A superb recent creation. Don’t think I have any decent photos of it, but will try to post some next time we are over there.
Very cold here today........I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Bike ride here too this afternoon: somewhat different winter weather from the OP... Hovering around 2 degrees, but in the absence of wind and damp, extremely pleasant (given appropriate clothing!). Excuse self-portraitOriginally posted by gurnemanz View Post

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
