On a Hill Far Away

It's a bit over 50 miles by road to Lincoln with its superb cathedral and takes an hour and a half. The distance may be ten miles less in a direct line. In perfect conditions we can see it quite clearly with the naked eye, but we rarely get that early in the morning. The main reason is that we're looking into the main source of light to the east.

This Monday morning cloud and a weather change were spreading from the west gradually darkening the skies overhead.

The hazy forerunner of this had already reached Lincoln reducing visibility but the outline of the cathedral, conveniently occupying a hilltop in otherwise flat land, was still unmistakeable. Those who want a better chance of seeing Lincoln  clearly from Blacka should try a bright breezy day in the late afternoon
