Default Winter wonderland in Devon

There is also something so special about the light when there is snow on the ground -especially when it's also falling steadily. I just found it so spiritually uplifting it almost brought tears to the eyes.
I realise Haytor must have felt so isolated, almost untouched and so lovely but there's also a real quality of beauty when the snow covers the streets, roads, parks and gardens and that white snowy blanket in its juxtaposition against the fantastic Victorian and Edwardian architecture in so many of our towns and cities; is simply breathtaking and when it gets dark and civilisations street lamps illuminate; then there is another whole magical experience to enjoy and remember for the rest of your life.

I agree with your sentiments, Lawrence. Here is a photo of the snow in the real Brueghel cityscape: Grand-Place in Brussels this afternoon http://tinyurl.com/bxfgcfe
