November 2014 Revisited

Millstones, Padley Gorge, Derbyshire

In the odd idle moment I often flick back the calendar in the files to similar times a few years ago.  In this case back to 2014, it was a November very different from this year.  The trees were bare, whilst not frosty still very cold and damp.

This image came up (in colour) so I though I would try reworking it, reducing the colour saturation to more accurately match the feel of that rather dull November day.

I think it works alright….Even though we have enjoyed a wonderful late summer and autumn, for which we should be very grateful,  it  probably more accurately reflects todays mood on another dull November day.

    1. I guess you could be right. I used to know the area around Alderley Edge in Cheshire very well and the original legend of the Wizard and the Rasingaling Man….I guess Alan Garners book The Weirdstone of Brisingamen is based very much upon this legend. I haven’t read many of his books mainly because they are classed as children’s books whilst true is perhaps psychologically limiting for broader readership.
