The hill that never was.... - a photo on Flickriver

Bear with me. I may have taken some strange photos and written some weird things in the past, but judge this for yourselves. No, this is not a 'lovely' picture but there is something quite unusual about it I think. In the foreground, a phone snap of some local Cheshire residential estate and a hill behind it and mist in the valley below it. But.....

Imagine leaving your home and driving a route you have done from your house thousands of times before, when something feels distinctly wrong. You see, that hill on my right.... you can see it plain as day...…. There's never been a hill there before. The heights rising to Mow Cop are on my left, in the opposite direction to what you see. And in the direction of this photo are the Cheshire Plains. Flat. No hills.

For the three of us in the car it felt so strange to see a hill where we know there is no hill. It was a trick of the light on a darker cloud. See what I mean by looking at exactly the same view here on Google Street...….no hill in sight!
