Sca Fell
Scafell (/ˈskɔːfəl/ or /skɑːˈfɛl/; also spelled Sca Fell, previously Scawfell) is a mountain in the English Lake District, part of the Southern Fells. Its height of 964 metres (3,162 ft) makes it the second-highest mountain in England after its neighbour Scafell Pike, from which it is separated by Mickledore col.
Topography
Scafell stands between Wasdale in the west and upper Eskdale to the east. The highest part of the fell is a ridge running south from Mickledore as far as Slight Side, which is counted as a separate fell by most guidebooks. Despite regarding Slight Side as a separate entity, Wainwright included the wide upland area beyond it to the south west as a part of Scafell. More modern guides have partitioned the plateau off as a further independent top, Great How.
The opposing flanks of Scafell are entirely different in character. Smooth slopes, lacking vegetation at higher levels but also devoid of any real interest, run down toward Burnmoor and the head of Wastwater. But on the east crags looming impressively over upper Eskdale, and on the north side Scafell Crag provides some the finest rock scenery in the Lake District.

Sky Fell
by: Judy CollinsThe rain is falling down
Along with the sky
The colors and remembered suns
Are pouring by
What will I do with the sky
When it is empty?
Come to the window
Put your arms around me again
If you don't hold me
I will wash away with the rain
What will I do with my arms
When they are empty?
I'll just stand here and watch
The sky fall while you put yourself together
While you gather up the time it took to
Make us think we would last forever
The window fills your face
With silver and grain
You're soaking up the sky
I'll never see it again
What will I do with the sky
When it is empty?
What will I do with my life
