Happy Christmas! It’s a lovely day out here, and I can’t believe how busy things are on the bridge. Perhaps I should have come earlier. As it is, the bridge is full of traffic, this being peak Christmas family visiting hours. There is a chill northwest wind keeping the day clear as the tide recedes. Above, the bridge line is mirrored by a line of cloud that blocks out the sun from the almost cloudless view in front, so that everything, Black Combe included, is tastefully lit with indirect light.
