Bleak

Thank you to everyone who looks at/comments on/faves my shots - much appreciated, as ever.

This is another of those best viewed large shots!
It's yucky here today. The sky's grey, the air pressure feels like the sky's sitting on your head and it's that nasty, bone-chilling, damp cold. This was taken by yet another stretch of the Grand Union Canal, just a couple of miles up the road from home. We ventured out for a cuppa and piece of choccy cake at our favourite tea room. It was pretty chilly in there as well, though!

The camera is taking a bit of a back seat this week. I'm warming up the dulcimer in preparation for a friend's annual music party on Saturday.

Certainly bleak. The lone figure captures the solitude that goes with bleak. B/w works well.

Not so bleak, I think. This photo seems to attest how much life and green is waiting to spring forth. Even the trees seem to be leaning forward in anticipation. :) Lovely. The snow melts away and warmer days are near.

It looks cold but the little bit of sun is trying to bring colour back to the scene.

Really nice composition. The sunlight leads your eye straight to the figure.

There is beauty in the bleakness!!

Not bleak at all. I love the dark contrasts and light tones in this. Great shot.
