The Hills Have Ice

Taking a familiar route the scenery has been transformed by the low sun and the snow on the Ochil Hills over in Fife.

Gone are the flowers, aside from a few stubborn gorse, and the farmer's crop of wheat has gone into waterlogged/icebound hibernation.

 With nature drawing in its horns, there's not much to entertain at the macro level. But the scenery is at its most majestic.



PS Look no pylon!

    1. I hesitate to mention this, but there is a song about a pylon! It is by The Fall - "Mother Sister". Mark E Smith at his most ascerbic...

    2. You could have had that as your blogpost song 😊
      I must say that lone pylon would have spoilt your photo, but in general, I don’t mind seeing a string of pylons. I used to think of them as giants, so I still quite like that thought
