Between the valleys of Great Langdale and Little Langdale in Cumbria, runs the ridge of Lingmore Fell, which includes the main summit of Brown How and the tag-on peak of Side Pike. At Brown How, the fell reaches 1,540 feet; 460 feet short of being a mountain.
The name Lingfell comes from the old Norse lyng, meaning 'heather covered'.
As the sun was sinking, the sky above Lingmore fell was infused with rays of gold.
Today, L is for light at Alphabe-Thursday with Jenny Matlock.
that's some lucious light you left us!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful light it's a sort of apricot tinged golden glow. Quite serene against the craggy dark rocks:)
ReplyDeleteMy father in law who lived well into his nineties and only died twelve years ago, always called heather 'ling' and used to talk about collecting it on the moors near here to bring it back homne for fuel.
ReplyDeleteWow that is awesome!
