Think of this thread as a Lakeland cairn and add something.

I'm afraid I don't know what a Lakeland cairn is. Please define for an ignorant Californian who would like to be less so.

Is this sort of thing what you have in mind?

Lakeland, a modern day name for two of England's best known National Parks, the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales.

Sorry, I knew what region was meant and assumed a cairn meant a cairn of stones, but I meant to inquire about its significance in the context of the videos. Is cairn-building a vanishing art in the Lakeland area?

I think it's one of those things people do, just because they can. I'm not sure if it has any significance other than that though.

I think each person who passes by this way is supposed to add a video to the pile :) -

May I digress just for a second to share some photos of a Canadian's take on stone sculpture? I can't find my favorite shot anymore, alas, but these should give you an idea:

Youtube is not a subscription-based service, by the way. You can join if you wish, but you don't have to be a member to wander aimlessly through its many priceless (and not-so-priceless) videos.

Lovely thread drift and stunning photos Claire.

There's some great stuff on youtube LBK I've been introduced to great music I've never heard before like my recent thread on The St Nicholas Orchestra

It doesn't have to be youtube, any click to hear service will do. The idea is to spread stuff that should get a wider audience. May be olde classics, might be new stuff that's crept under the radar.
