We go to the Pub in the afternoon. We take the camera with us in anticipation of capturing some spectacular views of the snow-clad mountains on the other side of the Bay. We thought you might like to see them rather than just relying on my rather inadequate descriptions. However, it was not to be.
We turned on to the prom. The vista opened before us. It was a brilliantly bright day. Everything in the near distance had an intensity of colour rare at this time of year. But the fells across the way were a different matter.
As I said on Sunday we have been having a phase of freezing fog. Although it had disappeared from the immediate vicinity, the distance was still very soft. You were hard pushed to make out the land on the other side, especially the higher fells a bit further away. All was a soft mistiness.
We decide to return home later along the prom. You never know things may have improved. We were nigh-blinded by the brilliant golden ball of sun low in the sky. It was too early for a sunset but expect there was a good one later on. Across the Bay the layers of recession were softly delineated but again no real picture.
So much for taking our camera! The scenery is obviously as camera shy as so much wildlife is..
We'll be off along the prom again today. This time it will be for the food shop. I doubt we'll take the camera this time. That will probably mean the view will be spectacular once again. At least we can enjoy it even if we can't share it with you all. You'll just have to rely on my verbal powers of description.
