One of my favs this Tom, its a beauty.
This is a fantastic shot ,Tom!
I love this photo Tom - got it on my FB page too. Outstanding. Great blog Uncle xx
Beautiful photograph of a gorgeous place.... At Christmas, my Grandfather used to insist that us kids would be dropped off at the top of Joel Lane and then he would drive off and we would walk across the Low. It was always bloody freezing in December and we were dragged from the warm fire to do this journey. Every year without fail. Thanks Grandad!
Ha! Great memory... that walk stood you well I'm sure... It's memories such as this we like to here and hopefully so will others..
Cheers.
