Today the sky was the deepest blue and the sun shone brightly. The glare from the snow made sunglasses essential!
Looking out across the garden, the snow was a perfect canvas for shadows from the trees, creating all sorts of interesting shapes and contrasts, and I love that in this photo the sky looks stormy even though it was an incredible blue.
I love black and white snow photos which regular readers, or followers of my Instagram, may have noticed! It can sometimes feel as if snow has bleached the landscape, but if you look closely you can see such textures and highlights.
The lovely Kriss at Wild About Here, who takes the most amazing photographs, tagged me in the #5daybwchallenge and I’m already two days late joining in… But, this seemed like a good one to start with! Today, I will nominate the lovely Charly right here on Podcast :) I will post the rest of my daily photos on Instagram…
This is a brilliant shot Sara – works beautifully in black and white! Thank you for your kind words and also for joining in. Look forward to looking out for your other photos on Instagram.
Thank you Kriss x
Love the way the shadows show up the gentle contours of the slope. Super shot!
Thank you :)

So much snow, part of me is jealous the other thankful! Great picture though looking through the trees, I love the patterns everything makes, trying to decipher what the humps and lumps are! #bwphotoproject

Such a stunning shot Sara – love the shadows on the snow and the darkness of the sky. So effective in black and white – really does bring out the shadows and the textures so beautifully.
