Dapple

I’m so glad every now and then it snows heavily in England. I rushed out looking for potential spots to photograph, I took this one in Mentmore, Bedfordshire, UK. I’m not sure I should have been there as it looked like a private golf club. There were keen golfers ready and willing to play with their orange balls and stern looks, probably due to my entrance – as I didn’t get onto the grounds the traditional way – I hoped they didn’t mind too much as I scampered back to the car.

  • redtree replied

    Many many thanks for the awesome comment. Luckily, I was quite conservative with the parking. :-) I had thought that selling the photos to the club but I also wondered with the photo came incriminating evidence. They may like it, you’ll bail me out if it goes bad won’t you? x

    Love the view .. even more so because you have, refreshingly, not HD’d this to death, like so many photographers are doing now.

    Love the description, too. It makes me think very well of you as an artist, for several reasons all at once. Naughty minx!

    Beautiful. We lived in Minnesota for many years, and a snow scene is not one of my favorite subjects, but this is very tranquil and very nicely done.
