I think every image of the Moat Stone at the Woolpacks I have is different. It just shows how much the landscape changes. I never tire of this place. I'd planned a sunrise image but arrived too late. Happy with this though. A little hill fog simplified the scene.
he stone circle at Castlerigg is situated near Keswick in Cumbria, North West England. One of around 1,300 stone circles in the British Isles and Brittany, it was constructed as a part of a megalithic tradition that lasted from 3,300 to 900 BC, during the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Ages
Isaiah 34:11 “But Pelicans, Storks, great Owls, and Ravens shall have it in possession, and dwell therein. For God shall spread out the line of desolation upon it, and weight it with the stones of emptiness.”
The light reflecting off the stones along the shore looked terrific. Some showed muted colors while others stayed in the shadow. It was a peaceful and quiet evening as family walked into my shot in the ideal place. There silhouettes against the water made them stand out, while the colors from the setting sun delivered warmth to the overall picture.
This is Welcome Beach, somewhat ironically named and among the few areas with a public entrance to the water. Locals surreptitiously hide such public signs, preventing others from finding access to the water. With so few able to find this spot, we were aloud to enjoy it on our own.
Beneath the watchful gaze of stone saints, she raised her arms in freedom, her body forming its own kind of cathedral. The movement was simple, yet it carried the weight of centuries—human breath rising in rhythm with carved stone. Shot with a Leica M11 Mono and Summilux 50mm in Cologne, Germany.
After my afternoon exploring the area around Alport Castles I met up with John Bleakley at the head of the Derwent Valley, to make the climb up to the remote Crow Stones in the hope of a sunset.
We had plenty of time to take in the sights and stopped at the site of the Icelandic Air Crash near the summit of the heather clad ridge. We then made our way along the summit in glorious light. The wildlife was something to behold as we strolled through the purple heather. We saw Yellowhammers, Red Kite and a Hobby as we approached Crow Stones Edge.
We eventually reached this spot with the Crow Stones and the Crow Pinnacle and as you can see the low side light made for some nice images. Sadly though, our chance of a wondrous sunset was dashed with a large weather front blocking the sun on the Western horizon. We still hung around and got some nice shots after sunset, before making our way back down.
Part of Uttakleiv Beach consists of these rounded stones which were perfect for a composition with a long shutter speed.

There are few stone circles in Britain in such a dramatic setting as that of Castlerigg, which overlooks the Thirlmere Valley in the Lake District National Park with the mountains of High Seat and Helvellyn as a backdrop
It is not just its location that makes this one of the most important British stone circles; considered to have been constructed about 3000 bc, it is potentially one of the earliest in the country.
