Took a cycle round to Lindores Loch on this cold, but sunny morning to find the loch had a thin covering of ice. The frost was still hanging around where the sun hadn't reached.
I was watching a documentary on the making of Eraserhead by David Lynch, and there was a scene when they were driving around to some of the locations. They went by a heavily industrialized part of the city, and David Lynch said, "Look how beautiful that is." I chuckled because I completely understood his sentiment. I feel the same way when I look at scenes like the one in this capture. The cold steel with its paint peeling against the monochrome sky. Only ornamented with a stark branch that is trying to grow. It is the coldness of industry, of winter, of metal, and it has its haunting beauty. So I will often stop and try to capture it.

A most fortunate trip early this morning. I had no plans going to bed Friday night but have been waking up in the middle of the night rather often lately ever since going to Eastern Daylight Time. So when it happened today at 4:30 AM I decided to put it to use. One problem with these darkness trips and hikes is nowhere open to get breakfast fast and I'd need something substantial for sure. The great thing about right after the time change is the sun comes up really late, so I cooked a big meal.
Turbo and I drove up to the Mount Pleasant National Scenic Area near Buena Vista, VA and took the Appalachian Trail south up to Cold Mountain. It's a "bald" area similar to what is found around Roan Mountain in NC/TN. Pretty much a 360 view and there aren't many places in VA with a better shot of the rising sun. I wasn't sure how it would be since there was a lot of overcast where I live and on the drive up. It's about a 1 mile hike to get up here and did it just as the glow of day started. Only had to wait about 15 minutes until the sun came up, and the sky just kept getting better. I stayed around taking pictures for perhaps 45 more minutes and could have stayed much longer.
We rode home on the parkway stopping at the good overlooks and also went for a flower walk at the James River. It's the low point of the parkway and thus spring happens in that area first. We ended up seeing Dutchmans Breetches, Cutleaf Toothwort, Spring Beauties, Bloodroot, and Star Chickweed. Best photo trip I've had in awhile and don't know how long it's been for that nice of a Saturday.

A bitterly cold day today in Bradgate Park. The water was starting to freeze over and the Black Headed Gulls were closing their eyes against the wind. The sun was shining though, and lighting up their red legs from behind.
I'm having a hot cup of coffee, while looking at the cold world outside in the Luleå cultrual center in Luleå, Sweden in February.
Roadside stalks of whatever collect modules of white ice as the heavy snow falls across the Chatham Valley.
