View from Lingmell
Lingmell is a fell in the English Lake District, standing above the village of Wasdale Head. It is an outlier on the north-west flank of Scafell Pike, England’s highest mountain. Although standing in the shadow of its taller parent, Lingmell is very much a separate entity. In the manner of many fells it displays two contrasting aspects. The southern and western slopes – although steep – are smooth and rounded, while the northern and eastern faces fall as crags directly from the summit. The northern crag drops for 1,000 feet (300 metres) toward the valley floor, with a further 1,000 feet (300 metres) of scree below. (Wikipedia) Image stitched from three jpegs then processed in Google photos, which downsizes the image unfortunately. In the upper right is Great End, and in the valley bellow is the dark rift of Piers Gill

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
