Lacey cobwebs cover ivy after frost.The sun low in the sky this afternoon tends to go the head, so long are the shadows, and so dramatically lit are people's faces and the branches of trees. It is a time for other sorts of exaggeration. Some young mothers are chatting on domestic matters beside the playground "My store cupboard is a bit over stocked now. I find I've got 9,000 tins of sweetcorn..." says one.
A skating link has been installed in Calverley Ground. There are floodlights and fairy lights in the trees. Unfortunately health and safety authorities must have insisted that it is encircled by a fence, so that it is less picturesque than it might otherwise have been, and all you can see is a sequence of body-less heads gliding above the parapet.

Lovely photograph, Plutarch. Cold enough for an ice rink? It's been a monsoon here and the mountain snows are getting washed away.
You've got frost already...
Beautiful image.
I concur - lovely photograph and like a painting.
There was a brief frost only. This time last year there was a heavy snowfall.
