...никогда не угаснет лютая ненависть к войне! Мы глубоко чувствуем горе тех, кто сегодня не может встретить своих близких. И мы сделаем все, чтобы будущие невесты никогда не теряли женихов, чтобы матери не дрожали за жизнь своих детей... Летят журавли, 1957
@theiaincameron Barely half that distance but same direction at a tenth of the altitude: this is the Isle of Man from Llandudno a couple of weeks ago. Lake District also visible but not on phone camera.
The longest line of sight in the U.K. has been seen only a few times, and photographed once. In 2015, Kris Williams was atop Snowdon in perfect conditions and managed to snap The Merrick in Southern Scotland. A remarkable distance of 232km (144 miles).
