Mount Maw photo

Summit of Mount Maw

Taken on a day when UK airspace has been closed due to a plume of volcanic dust originating from Iceland - note the clear blue sky without condensation trails. A farmer we met told that 80 of his sheep had died in the snow this winter; he was out looking for carcasses to clear them from the hill.
