Clear

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
You'll feel part of
Every mountain, sea and shore,
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never never heard before

And on a clear day
On a clear day
You can see forever and ever and ever and ever more.

We don't have many hills in this part of the world so we don't get many 'vistas'. This is the view from the top of a tree walk looking out towards the town of Northampton. It was a clear and sunny day so it looked like you could see forever.

If you look closely you can see what's locally known as 'The Northampton Lighthouse', the big tower about a quarter in from the right of the shot. Northampton is about as far away from the sea as you can get so the name is a bit of a local joke. It's actually a lift testing tower built in the 1980's by the Express Lift Co. and it's 127.45 metres tall. I don't think it's used any more but it is a listed building and can't be pulled down.
