Dawn light slowly comes in a snowy scene above the River Ness, Inverness, taken from the Castle Ramparts, Scotland.
Poem.
Deep-blue dawn sky breaks five days before Christmas.
Steep, snow-laden Castle-Ramparts.
Variegated Holly bush, and trees, are white-tinted.
Roofs shrouded in white by the winter snow-fall.
River runs dark and fast beneath three bridges.
River-bank, bridge and street-lights beam off the gushing water and glow in spears of warm, orange iridescent light.
Ben Wyvis stands imperious 25 miles north-west
under a blanket of snow and cloud.
Majestic conditions for this latitude, at this time of year.
Anticipation pulsates.
Not just Christmas.
A “White Christmas.”
