Fire and Ice - Imbolc

This is my entry for the 4x4 Friday Challenge which focuses on the midwinter sabbat of Imbolc. This is a time of turning ; the season turning from ice to the slow warming of the sun- renewing life and new growth. My image (Dover) represents Brigid dreaming of the returning sun while signs of winter (ice crystals) are still present.
