On the Edge of the Cotswolds

I was finally able to escape my home yesterday and dust off my camera. It was up to a local view point and although there wasn't any rain, I had to hang on to the lone tree that stands on the tip of the hill.

This is right on the edge of The Cotswold hills looking south where you can see Cam Long Down which was a subject of one of my pictures the other day. Plenty of bracken on the steep slopes were only the sheep can live. Thankfully my excess weight kept me firmly planted to the ground and I was pleased to get back to the sanctuary of my car.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.
Imagine it is a bit slippy underfoot especially climbing. Lovely capture - love the low winter light

@virtualbrownie @claireuk Thank you both, thankfully there was a car park 100 yards away and no slope.

@mrsnlc Thank you Nicola, it was windy and they were travelling fast.

This is lovely, Heather. Is the rusty brown on the hillside the bracken you mentioned? I love the light breaking through the clouds. Nicely seen and captured.

@connie865 @elisasaeter @ourrube Thank you all, and yes Connie the brown is the bracken.

Not sure what bracken is but it gives a lovely splash of colour. Neat low hanging clouds.

@kathiecb Thanks Kathie, bracken is a native British fern commonly found in woodland and heathland. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils and climates.
