Land Of The Silver Birch

It was the first day back to work after a nice break. I got up and sleepily got ready, the dark curtains gave no secrets away about the glorious day outside! Our village lies fairly high over the Eden Valley and the drive to work started very bright with a huge red sun rising above the mist turning everything pink.

Thick mist still filled the valley but above it stood trees white with the damp night's air frozen onto them. The blue sky added to the beauty of the morning.

At every turn there was something beautiful to look at, even the factories with plumes of pink steam rising from them. To show you what I mean, under this tree stood a blipper thaking this shot!
