Chris Herring documents the Norfolk countryside through one of East Anglia's most brutal winters in over thirty years. The photographer ventures across the county as deep snow blankets familiar landscapes and weeks of hard frost transform ordinary scenes into something mystical. Herring captures crystal clear dawns breaking over frozen fields and spectacular sunsets painting the snow in brilliant colors. Easterly gales sweep in from the North Sea, creating an almost arctic landscape despite the region's milder modern climate. The book showcases Norfolk's winter beauty through bright frosty mornings and misty sunrises that reveal nature's power to remake the familiar into the extraordinary. Herring's photographs present the county dressed in its finest winter clothing, from the harshest storms to the most delicate frost formations.
