This is the pic windows XP wishes it had on release

Hah, I wish! You do wonder how much the photographer for that wallpaper made...

If you believe the internet, then "bliss" made quite a bit initially.

The stone wall isnt enough to tell people to keep out, they had to add barbed wire as well.

I recognized the Monument and had to click on to double check! Amazing 360° views from there.

Yea, I live in south Cumbria. I couldn't believe someone on Lemmy would set foot in my neck of the woods, but here we are.

This is where we find out that we're all Cumbrians - like some kind of weird Truman Show. I wouldn't live anywhere else though, tried London for 6 years.. Came straight back.

I'm in Kendal! Not a hardship to get to bonny Ulverston.

[-] hexual@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Aye, in all my time living in Cumbria I'd never ventured up the Hoad. Superb views.

This picture has such a style it could be on a stamp. Looks beautiful.
