Quarry spoil heaps at Millstone Rigg
Quarry spoil heaps at Millstone Rigg
A deceptive image. It could easily be interpreted as an image of a group of rugged mountains taken from some distance but the humps in view are in fact fairly small piles of debris at the disused Millstone Quarry to the west of the summit of Collier Law. A clue to the true scale of the scene is the strands of grass in the foreground which are at the edge of a hill road.
