Pretty in white and a joy to photograph Exmoor is a special place in the snow, but it can get dodgy on the narrow and often un-gritted roads, especially if it snows while you’re out wandering. In these conditions it is proper 4 wheel drive territory but even then, you have to have your ‘josh witts’ about you; this ain’t a frosty Sainsbury’s car park in Swindon.
For the natural residents; especially the hardy ‘blue horn’ sheep and the ponies, life goes on as normal aside from it’s a little tougher and colder on the nose to get to the grazing. At least there’s a little light relief to be had from the high revving and inept driving from some of the silly, sideways slip-sliding, humans ..
Beech leaf
Road to snowhere
Exmoor blue horn
Haw
Small Haws
The singing ringing tree
Ponies of the storm
It’s a hard days night
and I’ve been chewing frozen ass
Porlock box
It was black, and white privilege
Beech hedge splendour
This is it
and finally, Southern Wood
