Stone Walling

A dry stone wall meanders it's way over the landscape to meet up with it's companions in the valley below.

This is an area known as Norber which is famous for the large rocks balancing on much smaller rocks (one of which can be seen in the centre of this shot).

There are two explanations for this phenomena.

The first is that many years ago a giant lived here and his hobby was stone balancing.

The other is that the larger rocks were transported here by glaciers and were deposited on the smaller rocks when the glaciers melted.

You can believe whichever you want but i know which one I prefer.
