Coming up...

I cannot resist doing a "before" and "after" for a place I saw back in November 2011 [click here]. At the time this place was remarkable because of it being entirely inaccessible - but with rock piles visible on the island.

Here is what it looked like a weekend ago:

FFC and I were trying to find an easy winter walk, and I remembered this place and thought it would be accessible now. Had to cross a well-frozen drainage ditch. Bowers Brook was un-crossable, even after all the cold. The impression of rock piles grew stronger as I thumped through pretty deep snow in the last few steps.
