The picture was taken from near NS3680 : Bromley Muir trig point. The fence is marked on the 1:25000 OS map, as are the power lines that are hazily visible on the right.

The strange white dome in the background is Overton Muir, where I had just been. The muir had a covering of snow, but that is not why it appears white here; instead, its unusual appearance was caused by a layer of mist that was closely hugging its surface.

A later picture reveals it: NS3680 : Moorland fence.
