beautiful country scene, one thing I do miss in the city is the old log fire, nothing like it to mentally warm you up at least even if not as efficient as central heating
Grouse, this is an excellent shot with plenty of details to express the feel of the forest.The blue smoke drifting up to mention but one. I imagine it to be absolutely quiet.
@Alun Lambert: Being in a steep sided valley it's more picturesque than practical I'm afraid. Very little sun most of the year and a generator for the electric.
Very nice and imaginative scene. The bleak feel of the bare trees and the smoke from the chimney draws you into the warmth that you imagine inside the building.
