There is always something so hopeful about starting a New Year... All the difficulties of the previous year are left behind and I have the opportunity to start a fresh New Year...
These images like yesterdays are Straight out of the Camera and have been only resized in most cases although a couple were cropped... My posting for SOOC Sunday at Murieta365.
These photographs were taken yesterday when Neil and I walked up to Napoleon's Nose and the top of the Cavehill to watch the sun rise. These were taken once the sun was in the sky and the landscape lost its grey and mauve tinges and became warm and golden in the sunlight...
I thought they were nicest separated into two posts...
The dead grass and the dull mauve of the heather looked beautiful in the sunlight...
I loved the line of the fence cutting through the landscape...
Napoleons Nose with Belfast Lough in the background...
The Cairn on the top of the Cavehill... Once many years ago, I was sad to be sitting in work typing while my mum and sister took a walk to this ancient spot and lay on the grass and watched the eclipse of the sun... I would have loved to have experienced that...
The cairn has fallen in a very long time ago but marks the highest point on the Cavehill...
A wonderfully serene landscape on a day like this... Although the weather can change quickly and dramatically in a very short amount of time...
The cliffs on Cavehill lit up by the sunlight...
Hawthorn shrub at the start of the narrow path leading down along the base of the cliffs...
Old Boundary marker...
Beautiful heathland...
Old stile...
Wonderful rich colours of the landscape...
Neil waiting for me at the top of the hill beside the Cairn... I of course am lagging behind as usual as I stop to take the umpteenth photograph... (Embarrassed to admit that I took 600 on this walk)...
