Scene from a train, Jardin d'Hiver


Yesterday there was no snow in the city, but some settled in the suburbs and there was plenty in the hills. A friend up on the tops near Lees is snowed in. I had a meeting in Lancashire to attend and this was a snapshot from a speeding commuter train passing near Adlington (the 8.54 from Manchester Piccadilly should you ask!). Not the best of photos but the nearest I could get to the snow on a workday, and it gives you a freezing flavour. 

 A song that came to mind was Jardin d'Hiver by Stacey Kent.  Taking part in the Our World Tuesday meme.

    Oooooh I live in the city and so far I've been very disappointed not to see any snow! However I am getting a train to Thirsk on Friday so this gave me the idea that there will still be some clinging to the hills *fingers crossed*!!

    How nice that you can enjoy the snow by riding a train rather than having to drive a vehicle through it. Pretty scene.

    At least you had the comfort of the train to view it from. Only a dusting on the rooftops so far in SE London but I think it will be arriving overnight.

    Thank you for the freezing flavour :-) It never snows here in California so I enjoy it very much.

    Actually, I love it! The grain makes it look like a still from some old film :)

    I really like it too... the hint of movement gives it a fleeting feel that really adds to the mood of the weather
