A Snowy Darwen Moor

Following up my frosty rose pictures, I thought you might like to enjoy Darwen Moor in the snow vicariously without freezing your fingers or nose.

I’ll leave you with an icy curiosity. I’m not sure what the appropriate term would be – ice beads or bubbles or pearls? Take your pick!

  1. It is nice to live vicariously in these scenes. Moors always have a desolate, stark beauty. Like grassland, I think they’re likely an acquired taste and shape the people who live in them.

    1. I’m sure you’re right that they are an acquired taste. I don’t see them as desolate at all, it’s just other forms of life. I don’t even see them as stark. There is a local rhyme about them being bleak and barren, but I never could see it.

  2. Fab photos Susan. Love your moors and the ice bubbles. And although I am indoors reading this I do actually have both cold fingers and nose!
    Stay warm!
