What a difference days make!
So, what’s the difference days make to landscape images? The above photograph is of Crawley Tower: a medieval Pele tower surrounded by fortified buildings overlooking Powburn in north Northumberland UK. I took the photograph on 26 February 2018. The lowering, early evening winter sunshine clearly brightens the scene.

AND JUST A FEW DAYS LATER…the effects of the Beast from the East have transformed the landscape to provide yet another snow shot.
