All Is Calm, All Is Bright

"Away The Crow Road" (apparently a Scots' euphemism for being dead)

Drawing the curtains Friday evening and preparing for an early night I couldn't help but notice the foggy halo round the street lights out the back and the dark sky up above the fog pricked with crisp stars. I grabbed my gear and headed for The Crow Road over the Campsie Fells. Once there I shot a few car-trails then headed a short way up the hill to shoot star-trails. I lay on the cold hillside for an hour and a half while the camera recorded. The mist writhed along the flats lit from within by house & street lights. Planes wheeled and approached Glasgow airport and here and there cars negotiated the icy roads. It was very cold.
