Perfect shot! I have to be honest, I really did not recognize the landscape as an English one. If you had told me it was in the Gobi desert, I would have assuredly believed you. Lovely work.

@Brian: The top of Kinder Scout is a strange place. Being an exposed upland plateaux, and ravaged by wind, rain, sun and peoples feet, it looks a bit like a wide flat Gobi desert of windblasted rock and dust and peat. Over many years huge Cairns have been built by people piling up smaller stones (you can see one to the left horizon on the image)
