1. I love the way the snow and sky work together in each image: one slightly blue snow with the pinky-lavender horizon, and the other a kind of cloudy white, perfectly repeated in the sky above. The white Christmas lights in the top photo do, of course, make everything a bit of an illusion. I agree with Ann above — a touch of magic in that snow.

   1. I agree that the two are in league to work their tricks. We are still at that time of year when darkness falls before we are ready for it, but it has the advantage of bringing out the lights. Something in the top shot seems bridal. In the second, the sky wants to join with the snow in blanketing the hills.

      1. Bridal! Yes! Also the blanket — I like both!

2. With a little snow, every landscape takes on a fairytale atmosphere.

   1. The quantity does make a difference. We typically get gentle snow that highlights rather than conceals.

3. A pleasant contrast

   1. My format does not bigify, but the last picture would benefit from that.

      1. 🙂

4. Despite having lived for four years in Manchester, and Ellie’s being in Bolton, I’ve never been to Darwen. It looks quite handsome.

   1. We have a very beautiful framework, but like many northern towns, suffer from a lack of funds.

      1. Yes. Bolton used to be handsome. Once upon a time.
