Long Shadows in the Afternoon Sun. by ladymagpie

Long Shadows in the Afternoon Sun.

After the recent storms we have had frosty nights but clear blue skies during the day. By the late afternoons the shadows lengthen across the valleys and give this effect on the fields near my home.

I don't think the sheep notice as they are to busy munching the lush grass with a hint of ice in places. This was taken from one of my favourite spots, up by the spring where many people stop for fresh clean water, including myself. For some reason it tastes better in your coffee than the tap water with all the additives.

It's back home to the warm before the shadows length even more. View with the black background.
You certainly get out and about on your walks - lovely wintry colours and light.

Really pleasing landscape - sheep may safely graze, etc. Let's keep it that way. Fav, quintessentially English scene.
