Seasons

Here we have two photos of much the same view - the mountain called Black Coombe, seen from Roan Head (pronounced Ron Ed) in Cumbria, across the Duddon estuary.

I took one of the photos on July 7th and the other one yesterday, November 26th.

Which is which?

I expect you guessed: the sunny one is the November one. You can tell from the long shadows and the quality of the light, but apart from that there isn't really much obvious difference, though if you enlarge the photo enough you can see lots of tiny wild flowers in July.

We were lucky with the weather yesterday and had a very long walk on a very sunny beach. It was, of course, the best place in the world.
