Magical landscape of snow, sun and mist

Mist, sunshine and snow combined to create some magical scenes in the Stretton Hills.

Magical landscape of snow, sun and mist

There were some amazing photo opportunities from where I was standing on Caer Caradoc during a recent day out.

Pictured above is a cascade of white flowing between Helmeth Hill and Hazler Hill on the left, while the snow-covered summit of Ragleth can be seen to the right. 

A little while later and this was my view of the Long Mynd rising above Church Stretton.

It was a day of constant changes in the landscape, with fantastic views in every direction.

Despite the snow it didn't feel cold, and after a few hours it even became warm enough to walk around in short sleeves.
