Photo of the Day - Snow Drift in The Peak District National Park, Derbyshire, England

in photofeed •  7 years ago 

Good morning, Steemit!

The snow has all but melted away today, but I can't resist sharing this already-nostalgic shot from just a few hours ago when it was still covering everything with its magic...

Whilst most of the UK is breathing a sigh of relief, I have to say that I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED the snow!

Our fields in the snow, complete with a beautiful drift built up against a gate: it was astounding to see the way the wind had scraped all but the barest smattering of snow from the fields and piled it all up high against any barrier like these dry stone walls and gate. It was truly like a magical kingdom out there - pristine, gorgeous, crisp, clear, and replete with fascinating sights and patterns. I'm grateful to have been witness to this amazing force of nature, especially in such a perfect environment in which to fully enjoy it!


I hope you've enjoyed this post. As an independent creative, and 'radical unschooling' Mama, your support, kind-ness, and appreciation of my always-original content are most welcome!

With love,

beautiful but yes, a slightly nostalgic sight of the place. I like so much the orange colours of the leaves in contrast whit the white snow. ;)

Thank you :o) it was very beautiful to see in real life. One of those occasions where the camera really cannot capture its essence - but as photographer, we try anyway :0)

Sure.. The real beauty for me is enjoy the moment, dont matter If I made a good or bad shot , that goes in a second level. the best images are the ones that connect you with a great experience

Totally! It's always a huge bonus to capture a great shot, but you're right - not at the expense of the moment itself... The best images transport you back there... Thank you <3

:) no problem and happy women's day @jaytaylor

Great photograph. The few colors which are present really pop out.

Glad you like it! Those beech leaves look amazingly orange against the white, don't they?!

Absolutely! It gives a great mood.
