"Would it help if I said Sorry?"
Taken in the North Yorkshire Dales, heading out of the village of Grinton and heading towards Redmire Moor. you climb up a nice gentle slope and then a few bends with wide open roads and hit an area that looks like it has been blasted by nature and man a few times and you came across some open views and then vistas like this one.
Best viewed large.

Hélène David-Cuny
Have you ever wondered if there is any relation between the abundance of lonely trees in your country and the education you give to the your clouds to make mercyless warriors of them ? ;-)
clickinhistory replied
More the training of the trees to be tough enough to survive up here.. ;)

This tree is very brave… :)
