Hadrian's Wall (toward Vircovicium)
a little hazy but what a glorious place! Vircovicium is behind the trees to the centre of the image-looking west toward Newcastle.
This is the "picture postcard " shot of the wall , as a child when I saw this view open up before me I leapt back to 130AD and left a part of my soul there.
Oh ,scale -I forgot the wall section here is about 6 feet high-about half its original height.As FVC points out two distant sheep give some idea of scale.
