Winter is Coming

This is the look that the countryside around here has at present. There is great beauty to it
although to capture it with a camera is another matter. A few hours after I took this, snowflakes began falling around my home. I was so excited that it didn't even occur to me to try to take a photo.

Another photo that I took today is one of this gate. Sometimes I have to take a photo of something in order to see what it looks like when I've taken a photo of it. I've looked at these gates so many times as I've driven past, that I thought it best to try to sort out what the attraction was. I hope that these photos are not in some way autobiographical.
