Sign of the times...

Two blips from the same location today.

Top one: Looking across the Duddon estuary from the Furness Peninsula. The cloud topped hill in the distance is Black Combe. Follow the coast to the right and you see the mountains of the Lake District coming into view. You could see right into the heart of the Lakes from here, if this picture went a bit further to the right & it wasn't so hazy.

Bottom one is the area directly to the north of here, on this side of the estuary and on the Furness peninsula itself. The rounded mounds are glacial features called drumlins, left behind at the end of the last ice age.

Everywhere you look there are wind turbines. I suppose this is progress, but does it have to be so ugly?
