A view in the opposite direction, and in a different season, from a little further up the road makes for a striking contrast: Image In the present picture, the descending road is crossed, not far ahead, by another road, which is called Hillcrest Avenue to the left of the junction, and Craigmount Avenue to the right. For an earlier and more wintry equivalent of the present picture, see Image In the present picture, a little bump on the rightmost part of the skyline is Dumgoyne (Image), about 23km (14 miles) away. Flanking the near side of the junction just ahead, there is a wooden pole (left) and a lamp post (right). The noticeable dip on the skyline about midway between pole and lamp post corresponds to a gap (at Image) between the Slacks, to the left, and Cochno Hill, to the right. Greenside Reservoir occupies that lower ground. A similar dip just to the right of the lamp post corresponds to the gap (Image) between Cochno Hill and the Birny Hills, occupied by Cochno Loch and the Jaw Reservoir.
