Yewbarrow in her summer coat of green, Wasdale, Cumbria

Yewbarrow is a fell in the English Lake District which lies immediately north of the head of Wast Water. It is 628 metres high and the name is derived from the past prevalence of yew trees on the fell and its boat or 'barrow' shape.

The cloud shrouded peak to the right is Great Gable which is 899 metres high, appearing as a pyramid from Wasdale (hence its name), but as a dome from most other directions.

Many thanks for your visit and kind remarks Tanja, always welcome. The path actually follows a dry-stone wall for part of the way, I guess that is way it stands out so well.
