The Hills
Monday, January 21, 2013 at 3:03 PM
There’s a challenge passing its way around Instagram at the moment: five shots in five days on a given subject. I was tagged by @photoeng and the subject she gave me was hills. The picture above was the first I came up with. Big hill, little people!
The second showed the nature of the hills round here – gently rolling with moorland on top and fields below, divided by dry stone walls.
The third picture was a fun representation of August, when the flowering heather and tall spikes of rosebay willowherb clothe the hills in pinky purple.
Picture number four explained that our gentle hills belie just how high up we actually are. So high that often – particularly at this time of year – the clouds and earth kiss. And when they do it’s pretty breathtaking.
The final picture was the view from our window yesterday – hills lying under a respectable covering of snow – before vast amounts more fell overnight!
