Inaugural Photo of the Week

Ingleborough in the Peak District, taken on a changeable day in the first half of May this year.

One of the mountains that make up the Three Peaks Challenge. Along with her sisters Whernside and Pen-y-Ghent, Ingleborough in this picture shows everything I love about my corner of the planet. Solitude, space, a sense of monumental time passing...

The Three Peaks are limestone country, and as we all know, limestone is made of the shelly remains of sea creatures, deposited, laid down and compressed over millions of years. Now, think of the preceding sentence and look at that picture again. Sea creature shells make up that entire landscape. Look at the size of it, and think of all those countless billions of little creatures, over millions of years.

Time passing.
