A Wintery Wonderland fence

A Wintery Wonderland fence
Just minutes from my house sits an old railway line. Long since converted into a liner park walk. Lined with fences and trees, now and again it is struck by beautiful low side lighting. Mix that up with one of the first hoarfrost of the season and green leaves on the evergreens and we end up with a painting of our Winter here in Oldham.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

A must, for full screen viewing!

What a lovely walk this must be Herb. A beautiful shot with a lovely light. I particularly like the lines of frost on the fence. I would give it more than 1 star if I could :)
HFF and enjoy your weekend. Rosa.
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
That's a nice thing to say Rosa. This track is only about 200yrds from my house. It does not always look as pretty as this and more and more of these trees are being cut down to make way for yet more urban housing development as it was once all old cotton mills here, hence it is all brown field development. The frost and white trees were a delight. Thanks for the star too.

Hi Joe, always good to see you here. I wonder what this might have been like in your monochromes -perhaps I should try it! Lines, composition, p.o.v. and light are all things that matter here but it comments form folk like you that are the real reward!

Hi Herb

Very nice picture, and as always an excellent composition

The light starting to shine says it was a nice morning, but the ISO of 640 says, maybe it was a little dark still. Whichever it was, you have made a great picture of it.

I like it very much

Best wishes, HFF, and a good weekend
Peter

PS, One thing for certain, it was cold!!!!
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
I cannot pull the wool over your eyes Peter. Yes the lighting was relatively dark, especially to take at 250 and so the iso was turned up for all that. I am certainly glad that you have enjoyed this one so much as you know for me taking such light gives me a thrill. And yes, it was very cold, two pairs of gloves on at this stage of the game.

Yes, looked at this on black, a gorgeous work of Art, Herb. Sometimes the true beauty in the world can be found not too far from our own back yard.
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Frank J Casella
I am sure you are right about that Frank, certainly seeing your own area in every conceivable light helps. I am lucky that, even living in a most ugly town, that I am at its edge and near real beutiful countryside. To be fair to Oldham, many old eyesores have been sanitised somewhat, inluding this old railway line, now designated a linear-park albeit not the safest place to walk alone. Got to admit that I love this moment of rare weather and light.
