FrostedLight

Tonight it was a bit colder, and all the windows of the Glasshouses were frosted over. The illumination was not very bright, but it displayed the subtle colours in the videos better than I've ever seen. From the field opposite the gable ends, it almost looked like the building was made of ice. I stood and chatted with Austin while he photographed and just watched the colours dance.

While the light in the Glasshouses has looked so beautiful today, in other ways the cold has made it so frustrating. Once again we had no wind, and the sea was flat calm. While we had beautiful mirror reflections, it has meant that our wind turbines needed charging again from our back-up generators. But it was so cold that the doors to the Glasshouses were frozen shut, and I couldn't get in! So after getting advice from Nayan, I went home, boiled some water and took back bottles and flasks of hot water and eventually managed to get in.
