I've been posting about my research trip in China a lot recently, now that its December and Christmas is not far away I will take a break from the Jade dragon snow mountain photos and show some of my more wintery photos. I will start with some of my oldest photos, back when I was a teenager in Insch, a rural village in north east Scotland. Insch is in one of the snowier and colder areas of Scotland ,it is far enough away from the coast to get down to -20C and close enough to the sea to get lake affect snow. The cold climate makes growing certain plants difficult and the heavy snow often damages hedges and conifers. These photos are from around Insch showing the snow in the area and the plants buried by it. At times we would get two foot of snow falling in one night.
