Take A Break

View from my hotel room after taking a break from chess to go walking in the Shropshire Hills

Much of the land is very parched

Green trees make for a stark but beautiful contrast

Higher up there is more greenery where springs have not completely dried

Long Mynd Ponies, 'mynd' being Common Brittonic, ie Old Celtic, for mountain

It has been quite tough going as, although temperatures have not exceeded the low-mid 20s, the ground is baked hard and feels like walking on concrete

Another contrast in colours
