The deep blue of a cloudless sky, as seen from Wasdale Head. A lovely Spring day - and warm in the sunshine [shade was a touch too cool for comfort] . Many of the dry stone walls are built from rounded stones, and are more clearance than simple boundary lines. Sadly, clumsy tourists knock them down very easily ... .

Yes, spring lambs are well-named ! Luckily, the dry stone walls around here [SW Northumberland] are quite good at keeping lambs inside the fields.

Laxey River at the bottom of the valley, with various walls and a track / very minor road visible on the far fellside.

Pollarded trees next to a small beck in the Lake District. Some of the Herdwicks are / have been browsing the bark off the cut branches. The wall nearest the beck needs rebuilding as it appears partially collapsed - some of the other dry stone walls appear to be "clearance" walls - that is, used as a safe place to put stones picked off the fields.

The view from the Wasdale Head Inn car park of a snow covered Great Gable. Dry stone walls divide up the car park sections and protect trees from careless parking.
