I was pleased to have this image selected for inclusion as a finalist in North & South Magazine’s “Places In The Heart” competition.

There were a couple of large snowfalls in June 2012 (including 90cm on 6th June) with some very low temperatures at times.  It was -9 on the morning I headed up to the bouldering area known as Wuthering Heights on Castle Hill, but the peaceful scene laid out before me was worth it.  The lights at the back are Broken River‘s “Stairway to Heaven”.
