Jim Thank you for your comments - and for sharing my day with me. Glad you enjoyed it.

Jim Like life, the easy option is to stay on the road..

Jim .. but a better one, on this icy winter's day - is to impulsively turn off, and go where our legs will take us.

Jim ..along a path that will take us to the deep dark depths of a deep dark wood - to be alone, to enjoy its winter silence, when even the birds of the woods fall silent to conserve energy.

Jim If you have a tin of beans in Britain, that red brick building is where they come from - the mighty H.J. Heinz factory, set on the edge of a wooded ravine, into which we are about to go.

Jim Onward, and down and down, into Porter's Wood.

Jim A couple take a doggy walk together - engrossed in their conversation.

Jim Down, down, to a narrow bridge.

Jim Left or right? right I think.

Jim The normally bright stream looks dark and cold against the snow - cutting through it like a knife.

Jim The trees dusted with snow assume all kinds of forms and shapes - like sculptures, newly created.

Jim The path leads us on just us, the only sound in the winter dead wood is the sound of crunching footsteps - ours

Jim Ahead - or right? - right I think - and go.

Jim Tree sculptures dance in the snowy day - just me to enjoy them- all it takes is a moment to savour them - and take that moment home.

Jim Above the woood a glimpse of blue sky.

Jim Stepping stones take us across a stream, and beyond - whose footsteps do I follow?

Jim Frozen duckboards over now frozen boggy ground.

Jim Like a bright lantern in the distance, the sun is low in the late winter afternoon.

Jim Up, Up, and out of the wood.

Jim We are back in man territory - with man made things and modern life...

Jim ..like railway tracks.

Jim Snow maiden - do you see her lithe shape as I do?

Jim Jan. 7th A snow covered Britain seen from space.

M. Grundy Enjoyed the video Jim.

Jim The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep Robert Frost.

Jim Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow

Geoff Craven Delightful! Wish we could look forward to snow like that. Good to have a toddy once you were in out of the cold

Dave Fantastic Jim; pity you don't have any snow.

pauline Great pictures and what a fabulous soundtrack.

karen beautiful jim, cant wait to get out walking and see it for myself, been battling through the icy roads and estates.

Jim ...to look at the snow through the window, while wiggeling my stockinged toes, and thawing out with a hot toddy - Ah! bliss.

Jim Walk end - now for home ....

Jim Jan. 2010, Britain is snowbound. I took a walk through my local Porters Wood, Wigan. The wood was eerily silent in the snow, the crunch of my boots deafening in its silence.
