How High can I Climb.

Another good climb and the views are the most spectacular to date. High on the edge of the Cotswold Hills it was time to rest and enjoy the vista.

Across the valleys and fields you can see the River Severn as it widens to it's mouth and the sea beyond. On the other side is Wales and the mountains beyond. I find all the effort is well worth it.

Well worth viewing with the magnify button above the picture

@melsprague Well spotted Mel, too good reasons. A the weather around here has been unbelievable. Constant storms for several days meaning I have to dive into my reserves. Secondly good editing programme, but you would make a great Inspector Clouseau and thanks for your comment. Wink, Wink.

so beautiful - I really like the different colors and textures in the landscape (and because of your reply to Mel and want to stop cleaning and pull out a Pink Panther movie!)

@kchuk @linnypinny Thank you girls, I thought It was the Spanish Inquisition. I'm sure everyone drops into the spares, they are still taken by me.

Wonderful image Heather

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@stormi40 Thanks Marilyn, "The Hills are alive to the sound of music", don't think I would make the part.

[Connie]

Wow, Heather, you have done it again...jealous of the lovely countryside you live in. Glad you share it with us with your beautiful photos!

[Ruby]

Lovely, like a painting :)

[Joey]

Awesome scenery

[John]

Heather, this view is stunning. So glad you made the effort with the climb. I didn't realize you were so close to the sea and Wales. What fascinating and beautiful geography and landforms your country has. Someday I plan to see all this loveliness.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@connie865 @ourrube @joeyc @congaree Thank you all for your comments. Many who live in the area take it for granted and don't get out and about, they don't know hat they are missing.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@merleann Thank you Merle, especially the FAV

[Nicola]

This makes me want to leave London! Amazing!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@mrsnlc Thank you Nicola, I must admit I couldn't take London, particularly having visited on the odd day, can't wait to get back home.

@ladymagpie I moved from Leeds for work, and definitely miss being close to the countryside! It has its advantages though, and its own way of looking beautiful.
