Faded Board at the Viewpoint
The same place as Image eleven years later. There is a small parking area by an overlook where you can stop and admire the view across the upper Thames valley. The visitor board is looking a bit careworn these days which is a shame because the bits you can read have some interesting information about local geology.

Farmland west of Faringdon
The field in the foreground is being used to grow some as yet unidentified crop. In previous years it has been used for cereals. On the centre right skyline Faringdon Folly can be discerned perched on top of Faringdon Hill. The housing in view is a development from the 1960s or 70s probably.

Visible in the far distance on the full-sized version of this image are buildings at the Royal Air Force base RAF Brize Norton, over 11 kilometres to the north Image
