The title to today's post is not an homage to Oasis or even Mike Flowers Pops, it refers to this actual wall and the fact that I wonder why there is a random wall in the middle of a forest.
As I wandered through the forest looking for fungi to photograph I came across this tumble down wall or part of a wall which didn't seem to be going anywhere or even enclosing anything. I guess that at some time in the past it was part of an enclosure of some sort and perhaps the forest has grown up and taken over.
I have always like dry stone walls especially when they have a covering of moss. here I like the texture and colours in the shade of the pines.
I was originally going to call today's blog stronger together but I suppose "Standing Alone" is a better fit.
These views are taken from Twisleton Lane, an old Roman road which leads from Raven Ray into Kingsdale. I was particularly keen to capture the sky and the dramatic clouds above the valley. I also like to dry stone wall, a traditional feature of the English landscape which adds some interest to the first and third pictures
I really like the second picture and I was intrigued by the cloud above a cloud, almost enveloping it.
After this I headed down the road to Beezley Falls and views of Ingleborough and I will share pictures from there in the days to come
