You will go far.
7 March 2006 (172)

Fovant, Salisbury, UK

I couldn't bear to take the camera outside today --
the weather was appalling: rain and hail and fog.

So, with little (or no) apology, here's a shot of yesterday's wonderful 'big sky'!
This one was taken from the ramparts of Chiselbury hill-fort, again:
this time, showing as much of the fort as I could cram into my lens!
(The trees and shrubs on the horizon are actually the far ramparts....)

----------

At least, I suppose, I should take comfort in the accuracy of the weather forecast....

The "rod" or "crop" is actually my trusty Leki Wanderfreund AS walking stick... -- see:
