Today my colleague called to send me on new photo assignment, a christmas fair. It was in the same small town that our last book was about. That book has been out for nearly two weeks now. It's selling.
When I got there shortly after two the sun was already lower than I would want it to be. By four, after trying to get some good shots I decided to return home. That was when I took this picture. The valley is one of my favourite spots. In summer I walk there with my dogs. A wider shot taken in summer made it into the last book.
