While coming back from a swimming session early in the morning, I spotted a frozen pond so pulled over to go see this lovely sight.
Parked and moved into the forest…
The field next door is separated by this snowy fence…
Yes, its dangerous all right, lol, I am going to avoid it. 
Tiny bows of snow. 
Foxes in the snow. 
That’s the path I am taking. 
The entire forest was quiet, very whispery quiet. Only the crunch of my shoes could be heard
The beginning of the pond. 
The entire pond is frozen over. In two phases…
What? 
The railing is also covered with snow. 
I dont think I will be going for a dip
The branches on the pond are encased in ice and snow. 
This is a barrier which is supporting the bank from falling into the pond. 
The sky is leaden with clouds. 
What’s that sign? 
No fishing. Yes siree. 
Keep on walking. 
A shrub covered with snow. 
Hmm, i think i can see my footprints
Top end of the pond. 
Keep on walking
Now entering into another part of the wood. 
A strange flat shaped branch. 
Peek a boo
I was thinking how it will feel if I walked below the branch and poked it. Cold time, lol. 
Wriggly snow worms. 
A house emerges from the mist and snow. 
I turn left
Virgin snow, its almost like I am the first person to traverse this ground. 
I can see the other pond. 
The old houses look so pretty with their snow covered roofs. 
The pond
What are those specks on the left? 
What the hell? What are these sea gulls doing on a frozen pond? 
The pond side shrubs
I start walking back
Somebody chucked a stone in there, you can see the stars…
Looking back at the pond
Going back to the first pond, there is the railing which encircles it. 
Cool, eh? a winter wonderland
blobs of snow
I did crawl below a branch, lol. God, I am so childish, lol
And then came out and poked it. 
Yellow snow. Foxes I presume…
The slush on the road is dirty dirty…
Tree branches drooping with the snow….
Elderly people walking around..
A warning about the pond. Not to throw things inside as it can cause harm to the birds and fishes
The ivy is also icy. 
Peeking back at the pond. 
There are two temples, an Ismaili mosque and centre first and then a Swami Narayan one after that. Then there is the hospital. lol. Drove off then. 
Parked again at the Old Redding Lookout space and 
It was so quiet.
Here is a panorama of how Old Redding Lookout view looks like. Cool eh?
