Comments: A morning of brilliant blue skies but with little in them up here. Bitter cold and exceptionally raw before the sun got up. Would have stayed longer but chilled to the bone. Few pigeons NE. Thus with open blue above in long gaps of nothing, the contrails came good!... not all of these Oxenhope snaps were taken today....
