@SimonRoyHughes @folklore @folklorethursday Beautiful picture and a wonderful way to measure distance.

In Scotland I heard this kind of horizon called the ‘landskein’, a name which has stuck with me although I think it is rarely known.

The best reference which comes to hand is "[Cambridge academic Robert Macfarlane] found ‘landskein’ being used on the Outer Hebrides and the definition he gives is “The weaving and braiding of horizon lines often seen most clearly on hazy days in hill country.”
