l'idea l'ho presa qui www.flickr.com/photos/chrispino/3046612537/ e ringrazio per l'ispirazione...ovviamente avendola fatta io a mano potete notare l'enomerme differenza ..ma mi era venuta la fissa cosi' ho provato...e tra un chicco e l'altro mi sono appiccicata pure le dita :D
There is little to commend the North Pennines. If like me you're after reaching the summits of all English fells over 2000', then for the most part you'll find yourself navigating through some pretty hideous peat hags to get to most of them. Not even a fell, but still a truly spectacular sight sandwiched between Murton Fell, Meldon Hill and Backstone Edge is High Cup Nick. There was nobody around to include in the shot to give it a sense of scale, so you'll have to take my word for it, it's vast. By far the most scenic bit of the North Pennines.
BTW, From tomorrow I'll be off walkabout again.... the Coast to Coast beckons once more :-)

Whilst the style differs from the Galloway cups and rings further south east, and the northern England cup and ring petroglyphs, the dialogue of cups interfaced with circles and canals (tails) is recognizable between the sites, and indeed carries on with relations carved as far away as Galice in Spain (see below). This photo is part of a wider monolithic outcrop with a variety of carvings. There is no question that the rock does anything other than descend deep into the ground. This is worth noting as, recently, a Scottish boulder with cup and ring marks was turned to reveal more cup and ring marks on its hidden surface. This discovery rightly made it into the UK national press who were able to say that nobody really understood what the meaning of the marks was, before opening the window to the crass idea that they might be shepherd's doodles! A shepherd can doodle onto leather, or with charcoal onto rock or wood. Everyone has the right to doodle. The effort required to then peck and scratch out his doodle for all time into a petroglyph is great and requires the motivation and tools to push for an idea that is high on meaning and social connection. Doodles are neither.

I was lucky enough to catch the World Cup Snow Cross event at Blue Mountain in 2019. Brady Lemon took the gold. I call this one Triumph.
On Tuesday, they will run the Melbourne Cup. I will have my money on a horse called Knight's Order, so I hope he shines for me! Whatever happens, it will be fun and this is my outfit for the day.
This photo is something of an optical illusion; both because the cup is gigantic and because that hamster is obese. It's also - improbably enough - the second time I've photographed one of my mum's pets in a giant teacup.

Scarlet Elf Cup (Sarcoscypha austriaca) is fairly widespread but uncommon in Britain and Ireland. It can be seen from January to April. Favouring areas with high rainfall it can be seen on decaying sticks and branches – especially in damp areas of the woodland floor – and on ditch sides and stream banks.
Scarlet Elf Cups have many other common names, which include, the scarlet elf cap, red cup, scarlet cup, moss cups and fairies’ baths. With that in mind, in European folklore, it was said that the wood elves drank morning dew from the cups or where the fairies bathe.
This cupper mine was established in 1723, last year in work was 1945. This is some of the remaining parts on surface.
