NY8671 : Land of the far horizons

taken 6 years ago, 3 km from Simonburn, Northumberland, England

Land of the far horizons
Land of the far horizons
"In Northumberland alone, both heaven and earth are seen; we walk all day on long ridges, high enough to give far views of moor and valley, and the sense of solitude above the world below, yet so far distant from each other, and of such equal height, that we can watch the low skirting clouds as they 'post o'er land and ocean without rest'. It is the land of the far horizons, where the piled or drifted shapes of gathered vapour are for ever moving along the farthest ridge of hills, like the procession of long primeval ages that is written in tribal mounds and Roman camps and Border towers on the breast of Northumberland."
The Middle Marches by George Macaulay Trevelyan (1938).
