Had a little star trip down Southerndown beach again the other day, not the right conditions for the Milkyway but somebody left some stone stacks for me to take pictures of instead.
It was so cold though don't think I could feel my hands for a good 15 minutes after, I think I need to invest in some decent gloves haha.
Two photo's stitched together.. they weren't planned to be stitched together but with the help of Photoshop auto fill in it seemed to work :-)
Andalusian sunset from the slopes of Sierra de Andújar looking across the Guadalquivir valley toward Sierra Nevada viewed from the lynx hide at Gato Clavo.
Tried making a pencil pastel style drawing in Photoshop with a photo of my good mate Richard skimming a stone in Wainuiomata. Lots more learning to be done. I lost the original file so this is a scan of a print because you know I like to keep things simple. And sarcasm, I quite enjoy a dash of that too.
One of the most magnificent archaeological features on Dartmoor. This stone row with its massive terminal stone is seen from within the cairn circle sited at its end.
The ancient stone row stands on Hingston Hill, near Down Tor, about 2 Km from Burrator reservoir in Dartmoor National Park. The stones were restored from their fallen state in 1894. They probably date from neolithic or bronze age times and may have had a sacred religious significance.
The cairn circle is 11 metres in diameter. The terminal stone is about 3 metres high and the stome row is comprised of 157 standing stones stretching a distance of 349 metres.
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.”
Taken at low tide on the shore of Troon in Scotland, this pile of stones were sat in a hollow in the surrounding rock waiting for the sea to bounce them around again!
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
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.
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.
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.
The standing stones on top Clent Hills. This is taken after the fog had lifted.
Thought the stones looked as if they were tentatively holding hands!
When this high altitude dry lakebed fills with a winter rain, the shallow water forms sheets of ice that move with the wind, dragging these "Sailing Stones" along the lake bottom. But why does this one have two tracks?
