To Pen Hill and back...

Yesterday I walked to the top of Pen Hill, which you may recall is one of the highest points in the Cotswold Hills at 267m above sea level. The views from the top on a sunny day are wonderful. The use of wide angle has flattened thing s a bit but I think the following shots speak for themselves. They represent a sort of panorama of the view facing south and from west to east.




























On the way up I found a few old friends....


Lady's Bedstraw

















Self-heal




















Common Restharrow



















Red Clover







































Dwarf Thistle and Tormentil.

Sitting on the top of Pen Hill is just marvellous. No traffic noise, a lovely gentle (ish) breeze and big skies to contemplate as you try to forget the job interview you have coming up later in the week! Fingers crossed...
