The Full Moon rising over The Fens, taken near Witchford. There was a long hedge in the way of a clear view for the actual rise behind Ely Cathedral but I managed to find a tiny gap to capture a photo. 🌝🌝🌝

This has been flooded for quite some time but the trees still stand. Reminds me that the inundation and the die off may have lasted a generation or a lifetime. Slow but continuous and perhaps too swift for some. #thefens

The February full moon will arrive on the 1st, and is called the “full snow moon” or “storm moon” in reference to the weather that typically this period. ❄️🌕❄️
These photos I have taken of the snow moon in previous years in Ely, Cambridgeshire.

I particularly love The Fens for the big skies & clouds.
These teasels & hawthorn berries provided an interesting contrast with this afternoon’s sky.
