Winter pictures

Yes, I know, it's nearly two weeks yet until the official start of winter, but considering that many parts of the US and the UK are suffering unseasonably cold temperatures this week, I thought it might be a good time to share a few winter pictures that remind me of the OUTLANDER books.

(Please note, I didn't take any of these photos! I just looked around the web for the best ones I could find.)


Snow on Grandfather Mountain, NC (near where Fraser's Ridge is supposed to be located)


View of the St. Lawrence River and the Plains of Abraham, Quebec (where William spent the winter of 1776-77)


Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland


Icicles in Boone, NC (in the vicinity of Fraser's Ridge)


Soldiers' quarters at Valley Forge, PA (this picture makes me cold just imagining what it must have been like!)


Ashness Bridge, the Lake District, England (near where Helwater is supposed to be located)

Hope you enjoy these!
