Light

It was a glorious day today, deep blue sky and wall to wall sunshine. However, I needed to file my UK tax form, an activity that does not fill me with joy. However, once the task was completed, and a small (very) rebate trousered, there was just enough time to dash out into the gloaming and have a fantastic cross-country ski.

When your sun shone on my snow it was a Sunday in the blue Engadin. The winter was a-glow and the frost was hot, and sparks sprayed incessantly from the ice.
