Needles Weebles

Sometimes a little journey moment brings a big smile onto the face. A little place at the Needles, Isle of Wight, is can do it for sure. This photo is from a little yard of a cottage at the Needles. The tiny yard is full of wisdom, and inhabitants from... anywhere in the world, real, or not. The first piece of the yard is here.

Lens: Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L

Bibury and Winter in Cotswolds

A village-picture, one of the most famouse English postcard images, when in bloom, and the one called by William Morris "the most beautiful village in England", - Bibury in Cotswolds, as it is in the snow. The 17th century cottages covered in white do not seem to have lost a smallest piece of their beauty in the mild post-sunset light.

Broadway Tower, Cotswolds

A beautiful place in Cotswolds is the Broadway Tower on the Broadway Hill, the second high point in Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. There is something magical about this tower, standing alone on the hill and overlooking the neighborhood. Despite the fact that to get there in the high snow is almost impossible on a 'hair dryer engine', it is so worthy a walk up to the hill.

Plenty of sheep like the Tower. 

And with the thorough look deer can be also spotted.

Apparently, the Broadway Tower is the perfect place for winter fun both for children, and for adults, - not counting dogs!

Stow-on-the-Water

Another cute spot in Cotswolds, England is located twenty minutes drive from Bourton-on-the-Water, and even called similarly: Stow-on-the-Water. The downtown is all in snow, as expected.

The Gnomme's place spotted. I have tried to fit, and I couldn't!

  

After a nice but freezing walk it is always nice to get inside for some warm up.

Bourton-on-the-Water or Bourton on the Snow?

When the snow never stops falling, and winter finally justifies its definition of being a white season, why not to go to one of the most beautiful places in England, Bourton-on-the-Water in the Cotswolds?

These photos were made during the showy walk of the last weekend trip in the picturesque High Street of the Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.

There is always streaming water in Bourton-on-the-Water.

 Winter fairy-tale of the one of the ten prettiest villages in England continues even when almost all tea-rooms, restaurants and museums are closed.

 The short walk in such a romantic place is so nice, and is also nice to look at the snow from the window staying warm.

Romantic Bourton-on-the-Water at the sunset light.

 Calm, peaceful and incredibly romantic, called 'Little Venice' of the Cotswolds.

Not too many visitors on the open terraces of the usually overcrowded tea-rooms.

Winter paradox? Oh, in the Hobgoblin pub one can be warmed up if not scared yet!
