Description

Hambleton Wood, Hambleton Peninsular, Rutland, grey winter’s day.

This line of trees started the walk into Hambleton Wood with Rutland Water on the right. The framing of the view with the trees stepping down the hillside, contrasted with the hedges and fields almost blocked the view beyond with only the merest glimpse of Rutland Water beyond. The low horizon emphasised the outline of the trees and the series of parallel lines of the shorelines. The muted colours of the winter’s day enabled the detail of the branches in the trees and hedges to be shown.
