This is what winter is all about...

I had a wonder around the harbour earlier today to see if it is as deadly quiet as it feels.  
Even though its so bitterly cold outside you can not beat it when its like this.  Cold and everything so still with the sun shining-what a perfect day.  I think this poem sums it right up: 

The Winter Sun

Hangs low in the sky
The navy blue sea
Sparkles in the sunlight
The trees are silhouetted
Shafts of lights shining through
Their barren branches
Frosty nights leave icing
Covered lawns and cobwebs
The winter sun
Pale and watery
Hardly warming the hard earth
But welcome like an old friend,
On this cold winter day.

And yes it is as deadly quiet as it seems but perfect for Christmas shopping don't you think?
