Driving from Tosside to Rathmell via Long Gill (as the sign post has it) in early summer, near the end of June, we came upon this view.The road is flanked by bracken, dog rose, buttercups, elder flowers and hawthorn as well as drystone walls. The nearby fields are all pasture and meadows, the latter not so blitzed by chemicals that wild flowers cannot grow. Distant trees mark the course of a stream. On the right, in the far distance, the higher part of Settle can just be seen with the Craven limestone hills rising behind the town. The flat summit is Fountains Fell and farther left one of the Three Peaks, Penyghent, can be seen. Above the whole panorama is the kind of interesting sky that I love for photographs. No wonder I stopped to record the scene.
