Frozen Drinking Pool - a photo on Flickriver

Frozen Drinking Pool

            PThat body stretch from the warm comfy bed to peep through the curtains at a red glow in the sky was all I needed to entice me on to a bitter cold Dartmoor. 
Madness I hear you cry! 

I sensed the dramatic clouds were going to light up but realised that I was at least 1/2 late to drive, park up and walk up the nearest Tor.
So, I stopped beneath Sharpitor by the drinking pool for the ponies, sheep and cattle. It was like an mini ice rink and great to reflect the colours of the sky. The ice was thick so the animals couldn’t get to the water.

After rushing like a crazy man to set up the camera and get my warm gear on I decided not to hike up the Tor. Instead I stayed by the car to photograph the frozen pool. Luckily I saw the best of the sunrise within 5 minutes.
The vibrant sunrise display soon faded but I was happy to get a few shots. I  headed up to Sharpitor then onto Leather Tor just for the exercise and maybe a few more photos.

An hour and half later I was back in the car warming up drinking hot steaming tea and munching on a chocolate bar. Someone had broken the ice in one area of the pool so the animals could get a drink😄
