Up the Hill

Looks lovely doesn't it? Lovely and warm? It's an optical illusion. The sun was near the horizon and shining that beautiful gloaming all over the trees and the died back bracken. In reality it was absolutely freezing with a cutting northerly wind. Look at the 2 benches. They're both empty. I can imagine sitting there eating an ice-cream and sunbathing in the sun looking at this photo. Dream on.....summer will be here soon enough!
What a beautiful place! If it's too cold for ice-cream I'd sit there and drink coffee.

Love the curve of that wall, swirling around the trees, keeping them in their place! I know that false golden glow, too!

Yes those two well place seats do look very inviting... don't rush your summer too quick, cause you know what that will mean for us... great shot..
February 11th, 2015  
It certainly is a pretty photo despite the chill. Loving that curve.
February 11th, 2015  
Lovely light.
February 11th, 2015  
Pretty though. The light is very misleading. It was freezing here too today but grey.
February 11th, 2015  
Stunning golden tones. I love this. Looks like a HDR image.

Beautiful warm colours, lovely shot

Lovely light, almost looks as if the wall is designed to enclose the shade.

Gorgeous golden light and curves of the fence. It looks warm, but appearances are misleading! Lovely glow.

simply gorgeous orange landscape.

Love the mellow lighting :)

The wonderful golden light on low sun - could be baking hot, could be freezing cold!
February 11th, 2015  
Cool curve, like it is wrapping the trees up in a hug.
February 11th, 2015  
Love when the sun does this, turns everything golden, well captured :)
February 11th, 2015  
Very deceiving :)
February 11th, 2015  
Yup, looks are deceiving because it honestly does appear to be warm here. Beautiful place you have for strolling.
February 11th, 2015  
Wonderful view, that chair does look inviting but I will take your word regarding the cold! Your edit really enhances the beauty of this scene
February 11th, 2015

The soft sepia tones are a lovely treatment for this image which whispers "nostalgia". Love it.

Chantal, I must join in with all of the others that have commented on this great photo. Instant Fav! I really like how the trail leads your eye from the bottom left corner to the low curving rock or wood wall into the photo!

You're right, sometimes a photo can be deceiving, It looks like a lovely late afternoon in July, or as in this case maybe not. Thanks for the illusion, well done:)
