Winter Light (part II)

It's now at one of my favourite times of the year for making and taking photographs. Up here in the north, as the winter solstice approaches, the arc of the sun is getting increasingly shallow. I get a living room full of low, strong light (when it isn't cloudy). The light moves fast when you take time to work with it and I like to play with the long cast of shadows. Here is a link back to a post from nearly 3 years ago:

I've had the cutlery set out again...it's almost an excercise, like doing your scales, just to spend time with simple everday objects and light. I was quite pleased with the discovery of the carving fork but I'm not sure the blue linen tablecloth was the best background.

Love these! In the shadows, I see a helmeted Roman soldier, a Viking warrior, and a rather strange tree!
