Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire, UK
Well finally the rain has ceased for a few days and no work meetings! As I have a short trip coming up I decided not to trek off too far and with the forecast of widespread freezing fog and hoarfrost I thought I'd try Avebury Stone Circle as had never shot it in foggy conditions.
Th above shot was taken towards the end of my visit as the sun was burning off the fog. I was just experimenting with some different compositions. This is a 3 shot bracketed photo and, unusually for me, I chose a square crop as there was little foreground interest beyond frozen grass and no clouds in the sky.
Avebury henge and stone circles are one of the greatest marvels of prehistoric Britain. Built and much altered during the Neolithic period, roughly between 2850 BC and 2200 BC, the henge survives as a huge circular bank and ditch, encircling an area that includes part of Avebury village. Within the henge is the largest stone circle in Britain - originally of about 100 stones - which in turn encloses two smaller stone circles. Anyone interested in knowing more can look here www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/avebury/
The alternating wet and cold weather creates lots of work for my team as potholes break out like chickenpox spots but I'll take cold and dry over warm and wet any day. Surely only in England can we go from drought to ground water flooding in 6 months?!!
Hope everyone has been having a great weekend.
