Our Garden in Birnam

Let it Snow

I love the snow. I fear the snow. In 2011 the snow piled up against our car-port gates and before I'd had a chance to clear it away (again) it had turned to solid ice. I couldn't get the gates open for a couple of months – until the sun can clear Birnam Hill there's no sunlight to melt the ice on our dirt-track street – and by then the car battery, having frozen in the meantime, had to be replaced. Ouch!

Still, I love the snow. It transforms the view and deadens the noise from the traffic on the A9. Here's a movie I made of our garden in the snow on the 22nd of January. The music, by my friends Tracing Arcs, works marvelously well with the visuals, I find. Enjoy!
