Last of the snow On the ridge road to Dolfor.
We had heavy snow falls a couple of weeks previously and I'm guessing when this road was cleared a lot was piled up in this wider spot which usually serves as a passing place. Being north facing with a bank and hedge behind it, direct sun did not play any part in shifting it.
