10th January 2019 Precious moments.

*

Thursday 10th 28F, frosty with gorgeous skies and very light winds. A huge pig transporter was traveling so fast that it overshot a corner to almost place itself on the opposite verge. Only a miracle prevented a head-on crash with a packed school bus or petrol tanker. Just another moving accident waiting to happen.

There was a very long sunrise as I walked across "the prairie" taking pictures every few seconds.

Assens was visible in the distance from the top of the hill. As I descended by the crunchy edges of the fields, the sun grazed the gently rolling landscape below me, with freshly washed light.

Several Hooper swans passed over well below a hundred feet. Like cruise missiles on a mission with squeaky wings. Are they panting from exertion?

Friday 11th 43F, a grey, quiet start with some sunshine and wind threatened for later. It started brightly for my walk but then clouded over. The sky remained rather 'milky' from high cloud for the rest of the day. I was allowed out for a shopping ride. Only 7 miles, returning into the wind.
