This is one image in a series I'm shooting on parking decks ... shapes and forms, light and shadow play, mood and atmosphere. Some images are minimalist; others representational; still others abstract. To see more in the series click Parking Deck Series
Castlerigg is about 97½ ft (30 metres) in diameter, and formerly comprised 42 stones. There are now only 38 stones, which vary in height from 3¼ ft (1 metre) to 7½ ft (2.3 metres).[Info by English Heritage]. The mountains in the background from left to right are High Rigg, Great Dod, Helvelyn and Seat Sandal.
If you look closely at the nearest part of the crop circle you can see a couple of circle investigators. They give an idea to the scale of this work of art.
Had a couple days between projects. Too exhausted to go out and shoot so I played with some ideas I had using a single smoke plume. My Everest moment seeing how much patience I have. Lots of edits here, but other than curves, layers, blend modes and copy and paste nothing else was used. The shot was cropped and significantly down sized. Sort of smoke circle inception. You can endlessly zoom in on the full size version. Filling my 16 inch screen its at 1%. Obsessed, a little, crazy, ... a lot.

I had lots of ideas for the challenge today, but the first couple I tried did not work out well. I really wanted to use this collection of washers, but could not find the right way to shoot them. Finally, I used some no-glare glass to arrange them on and used two flood lamps to illuminate the Persian rug I placed about three feet below them. I purposely shot them in silhouette to prevent seeing the multiple surface conditions of the washers and maximize the circles. In the end, this is pretty much SOOC except for bumping up the saturation some to accentuate the colours of the background.
