The Hoad Monument, above Ulverston in Cumbria, England.
This is the pic windows XP wishes it had on release
Hah, I wish! You do wonder how much the photographer for that wallpaper made...
The stone wall isnt enough to tell people to keep out, they had to add barbed wire as well.
The wall is dry stone; there's no mortar holding it together. The barbed wire is to stop dafties climbing on it
Exactly right.
I recognized the Monument and had to click on to double check! Amazing 360° views from there.
Yea, I live in south Cumbria. I couldn't believe someone on Lemmy would set foot in my neck of the woods, but here we are.
I'm in Kendal! Not a hardship to get to bonny Ulverston.
This is where we find out that we're all Cumbrians - like some kind of weird Truman Show. I wouldn't live anywhere else though, tried London for 6 years.. Came straight back.
Aye, in all my time living in Cumbria I'd never ventured up the Hoad. Superb views.
This picture has such a style it could be on a stamp. Looks beautiful.
Thanks!
