Thou hast hit it
23 January 2013 (482)

Stratford-upon-Avon view map

A day of two halves.
A blizzard in the morning.
A gentle stroll on the freshly
settled snow in the afternoon.

Part of the newly extended gallery:
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In case the Petruchio and Katherina references, below, in the comments, have anyone confused,
it was not The Taming of the Shrew I had in mind, but Henry VI, Part 2, where Bevis says:
Thou hast hit it; for there’s no better sign of a brave mind than a hard hand.
...because of the sign in the background; my bravery (or stupidity) in going
out in such weather; and the fact that my hands were a bit chilly...!

Turns out, though, that Bill used this exact phrase in three separate plays;
as well as "Thou hast most kindly hit it", in Romeo and Juliet.

I shall be more careful, next time; and check my sources.

(Clever clogs.)

Looks like you've found shelter with a view. Everyone's a winner.

Great image of the heavy snow fall, very well composed.

Nice shot Petruchio, but I'm not going to sit on you.

Excellent with the fence running across the picture. A great scene. v

at least you found somewhere to shelter ;-)

beautifull place, would be fun to have a path bridge to that island. V

I'm not sure where Katharina and Petruchio might sit? There's not a seat or an ass in sight, but this truly beautiful winter scene would make them pause and ponder a while.

Outstanding composition. Looking from below the arch gives an entirely different feel to the scene. Nice work. ~V~

Nicely done! I really like the arc offsetting all the straight lines.
