Winter Conditions at Rouken Glen, Glasgow, Scotland

This morning I ventured out  to obtain winter images at Rouken Glen Country Park before the thaw arrives. I was pleased to finally get access to the waterfall illustrated in image no 2 below.

Here is the non--frozen enclave of clear water on the Boating Pond, now a microcosm. All but one of the resident ducks (maybe 50) seem to have disappeared. There is good news for the birds in that temperature is forecast to lift shortly so the ice might disappear.

 

This is the 'other' waterfall at Rouken Glen Country Park. Accessing it is not easy owing to the need to navigate a steep bank.I used a rope which assisted access on the frozen ground. No slippery mud to contend with! Note presence of icicles.

A good display of icicles in the heart of the glen (valley).
