Looking down the valley from a high vantage point some of the land formations are extraordinary. Some look like neolithic earthworks, they just look too fantastical to be natural, like a background for a Leonardo da Vinci painting. What is exciting about this area is this is just the mouth of the valley, I know it stretches for about 10 miles and so far is unexplored by me. Its a good start for the painting it reminds me of a Michael Andrews landscape, although there is a long way to go.
