The weather has turned wet and cooler – I said Summer wouldn’t last – and in sympathy with the change of weather, this photo was taken earlier in the year on my iPhone when the weather was a lot colder.
Richard (son and heir), plus daughter’s dog, and me went for a walk up Holmbury Hill at the beginning of March. Holmbury Hill is about three miles due west of Leith Hill – already visited twice – once in cloud (click here) and once on a perfect winter’s day (click here). It’s possible to walk from one hill to the next, something I hope to do before too long
So what sort of weather did we have on Holmbury Hill? It was overcast, and rain was a possibility – we thought. Less than five minutes after this shot was taken, just as we crested the summit, we were hit by a blizzard of snow. All over in five minutes or so and then life resumed as usual. The dog seemed unperturbed.
Great shot Andy, pity about the blizzard though 🙂
Thanks Norma. One has to be prepared for any weather in the UK – but for the second time a hill-top view was denied us!
What a great composition. And how nice to have a son and granddog at the ready. I also like that there’s just that tiny bit of color.
Thanks Linda. It’s good to be closer to our son and daughter. We lost our King Charles spaniel quite a few years ago now and still miss him. It’s nice to have a dog to stay without being permanently responsible for him. A bit like having a grandchild.
What a great silhouette this is, and I really love the composition too.
Glad you like it Lisa. It was just a grab shot with the iPhone.
Fabulous photograph Andy!
Just a grab shot on the iPhone, Adrian. But It’s surprising how good images are now on the 6S
