There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV) This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland. The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
