"All nature is but art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good."
-Alexander Pope
Castlerigg is perhaps the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles, with panoramic views and the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop. It's also among the earliest British circles, raised in about 3000 BC during the Neolithic period.
Margaret and I found this to be a most rewarding visit - with wonderful light - we stayed in the centre of Keswick, so it was within fairly easy walking distance. Had to wait for the 'stone huggers' to clear off before taking this !! A lot of people like to visit here and soak up the atmosphere, not surprisingly.
Textures: My own, and one from PicMonkey.
This Agusta Westland AW139 (I-TNDD) waits for the next emergency call...
The members of the Vigili Del Fuoco Trento (Fire Department Trentino) are prepared for any mission.
The colours of the ramp markings and the helicopter correspond perfectly...
A miniature! If you’re like me, you’ll need to put on your glasses to appreciate this!
I took it with a 75-300mm lens from some distance away. These friends are gathered under the warning sign at the end of the jetty at Bearskin Neck, Rockport Massachusetts.
I couldn’t really see what they were doing, but it looked like they were having fun!

These chandeliers are quite spectacular. Take time to notice them the next time you pass through what used to be the very grand waiting room at Grand Central.
I've always thought of a fogbow as a rare meteorological phenomenon. It turns out they aren't that uncommon in the Arctic. Photographing them, however, proved to be the devil's own job, particularly from the deck of a moving ship. Try as I might, I couldn't align the foreground pack ice with the fogbow quite how I wanted. This was as close as I got to a pleasing composition.

It looks like these Balsam root flowers are all facing outwards from a central point, as if they are protecting the centre. It could be because it is evening and the sun has set.

Circle Round
Life is a circle round
Birth and death are bound
Joy, laughter, sadness, sorrow
Who knows what happens tomorrow
Life begins with a pain of joy
A little child, a girl or boy
So precious a beginning
To a life full of sinning
Where do we end?
Back to where the Goddess sends
Back to where nature found
Back to the Circle Round.
