Funny old winter

This time last year we were emerging from a period of sub-Arctic temperatures, but this year we are having a normal winter; I rather like it. Life goes on and weekends are not ruined by dangerous weather. Today I spotted cyclists in short sleeves and shorts - which maybe a little unwise, but does reflect a kinder winter than we have been having recently. This evening we also had a wonderful sunset. I took this view as I walked near Caerwys church around 5pm.

The view looking due west from alongside Caerwys church; I have used the 'palate knife' filter effect from photoshop.
