Newly-mown fields near the village of Winewall in the district of Pendle, North-West England. In the distance about 5 miles away is Pendle Hill which gives its name to the area and is the location of the famous / infamous "Pendle Witch" events of 1612. It is also where George Fox in 1652 claimed to have had his vision whilst on the summit which led to the formation of "The Religious Society Of Friends", better known as the "Quakers". The Pendle area has a long-standing connection with the movement and there is also a Quaker study, retreat and conference center named "Pendle Hill" located in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, USA.

Photographed from near the top of Pendle Hill using an Olympus AZ1 camera. This was one of my first digital cameras and it only had 3.2 megapixels but the results were usually quite good, considering the low resolution. SEE NOTES. In 1652, during the early years of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), George Fox had a vision while on top of Pendle Hill. "As we travelled, we came near a very great hill, called Pendle Hill, and I was moved of the Lord to go up to the top of it; which I did with difficulty, it was so very steep and high. When I was come to the top, I saw the sea bordering upon Lancashire. From the top of this hill the Lord let me see in what places he had a great people to be gathered." Today Pendle remains strongly linked to the Quakers, giving its name to one of their centres for religious and spiritual study and contemplation in the United States.
