Some fantastic photos
Reminded me of an article I read a few years ago in the Land & Business Magazine, the monthly magazine the landowner's organisation the CLA distributes to it's members. In the regional section for the Dales, their representative for that area claimed landowners were the reason why the landscape was so great. I thought this was a bit arrogant, geology, the passage of time over many millennia (in which the CLA did not exist!) and the work of many generations, who were not the actual freeholders, have contributed. There are those, who like their spiritual side to fall into a specific denomination, might think that a god of some form or other had something to do with, but then having has the chance to read 'Land and Business Magazine for a few years ago, I came away with a distinct feeling that organisation thought that it was GOD.
A few excerpts have been included in
this topic, where I have tried to collect a few of the instances of godlike properties that have influenced our access to our countryside.
