Whiskey

We visited a whiskey distillery. 
We had a great tour and learned a lot about the whiskey making process. Then we tasted some of the whiskeys, and now I cannot remember much at all.

Red Mug

This is a composite picture I made using items other people have painted.
These are all legally obtained and I am free to use them, so am seeing if I can 'create' some interesting pictures.

This was a red mug I added some stems and the funky blue background.

Capturing Cold

Hoping that these photos manage to capture the bleak midwinter feeling.
Although with some sun shining it was not that bleak!

Please let me know what you think!

Frost and Fog

Took my first picture as the sun was rising, to a bright sunny day with frost all around.



Then it became foggy




The fog lifted



While the sun was out the frost disappeared.



This was all over the space of 3 hours and I became fed up with putting on, and taking off, my jacket, scarf and gloves.

From Mild To Cold

Having had several days of mild weather we now have  some much cooler air leading to a bright frosty morning.

Misty

Deer in the field surrounded by mist.

Supermoon 2034

Saw the last of the supermoon this week. The next supermoon will be 25 November 2034.
That is 18 years from now.
What will you be doing, what will you have achieved?
Just think of all that you have achieved in the last 18 years, and with the knowledge that you already have, imagine the possibilities!!!!

Peachy Sunset

Having hardly seen the sun all day, as it was about to set it peered through the mist and made a delicately coloured sunset.

Along A Road

A sunny day as we drove.

Grey Day

To say today was grey would be kind, it was more grungy and grimey, lots of grey sky and mucky roads.

Pastel Sunrise

Sunrise was a little pink and later in the day it started to drizzle, and there was I thinking the red and purple sunset yesterday meant something!!

Purple Sunset

Lots of purple and pink with a splash of red, orange and yellow.

More Lights

This afternoon it started to rain, I actually cannot remember when we last had rain, so must be a while ago and no doubt 'we need the rain'.
However, it makes me so appreciative of our evening yesterday, as in the rain the whole thing would be quite miserable.

Anyway, here are some more pics from last evening.



Yes, the lights gradually changed colour.



Worked my round and made one of the lights the background for branches.
Had a bit of a wait until it turned almost moon blue.





This was like something from a sci fi film.

We walked through this!

Illuminated Trees

We went to see some illuminated trees, these were what I had been expecting.













However some others were a surprise 

December Lunch Out

Went out for lunch, tiny place with delicious food. This was the view as we ate!!




This was the sky as I drove home.

Frost On Rosehip.

So much milder today, such a quick change in weather, so these are from Monday.

Rose hip and rose leaves with a delicate tracery of frost.



Front and back of rose leaves

Delicate Frosty Edges On Ivy

The waxy leaved ivy does not mind the frost at all.

Frost and Sun

Bright sunny early morning with a sharp frost, such a lovely start to the day.

Winter Tree Shapes

Left to their own devices, trees will grow into typical shapes for their species.

Norwegian Christmas Market Stalls

Not too many people but lovely, unique, handmade items in the cabins.

Night Flight Over London

Arriving from the east along the River Thames and London as day begins to break.

You can see the river winding across the top 1/3 of the photo above, it is clearer on the crop below.


Bottom left 1/3 is the London Eye.


A closer view
