Cam Peak - A local Landmark

Not far from home is this local landmark called Cam Peak, a hill that sticks out like a "Pimple on a rice Pudding", among all the other hills around. Not sure whether other people know that saying or whether it's one of my Mothers.

I had to climb another hill to get this capture with the River Severn and the Forest of Dean behind the peak. In Spring the hole peak turns blue with bluebells from top to bottom.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

@paperheartphotography Thank you Shella, it's worth climbing all the hill around here on the edge of the Cotswold Hills.

@connie865 Thanks Connie, I think it must have been something my Mother used, meaning it stood out from the area.

@elisasaeter Thank you Elisabeth, It's a great place to reach and view from.

Just so beautiful, would you be able to get another shot in spring with the bluebells?

[Graham Thresher]

Really love your views of your local environment. Another super Fav that looked even better viewed large.

The up hill climb was definitely worth it - what a gorgeous view and capture!

You do live in a lovely part of the country - I used to visit around Stroud on business and always enjoyed the ride. You capture the views so well.

out of curiosity what is the flat top building in centre lower part of the shot ?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@claireuk Hi Claire, have a look at my picture for the 5/5/13 - it was taken on the other side looking up the hill, bluebells everywhere.

@philcameron59 Thank Phil, I think there is a new house going in which will have a grass roof.

Wow, what an awesome scenery!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@joeyc Thanks Joey, I appreciate the area, other just take it for granted.
