" And I swear there do be Giants here! "

            Colmer`s Hill, Symondsbury, Dorset, rises 417ft above the rich fertile pastures of "The green and pleasant land" of England.
 It looks like some giant hand has just planted it there as its perfectly symmetrical and it appears suddenly before you  like some prehistoric iron age hill fort that has just sprung straight out of the earth.
    However, the shape was created naturally over millions of years purely by erosion. The underlying strata consists of soft red sandstone which weathers easily especially in the open wind swept and wet countryside which is typical of the climate of south cost of England during the Winter months.
      You can see the path winding its way to the top and the russet brown bracken fronds which are dying back for the winter and they give a nice tinge to the greenery on  the slopes..
There are 7 Scots Pine { Pinus Sylvestris } growing on the top and they were planted by Maj W P Colfox during the first world war. For what reason, we dont know but Im certain he wouldnt have to have had a reason!!! They are called " The Magnificent Seven " and Im not going there! Dream on!!! Lol!
  So there it stands and I think it looks  wonderfully majestic in the soft fading light of a late  September " Dorset " evening.
   Ive had this pic since last year and Im only getting around to it now. I do hope you like it as much as I do and Im sure Ill find out soon enough!
                             I  hope your week ahead is wonderful!
                                    Hugs, P@t.
