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.
My attempt at the "Flickr Friday" theme "Stone".

This stone circle dates back to 3000 BC and it is the most amazing place to be. We had perfect light and weather on this morning and both took loads of photos. There will be more...

We were extremely fortunate to see this fantastic bird...we were sitting in the car on the Salisbury Plain looking at some young skylarks on the ground and it flew in to within about 40 metres and proceeded to feast on invertebrates in the soil for about 10 minutes...spectacular!
Swaledale is in the north of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The beautiful dale is renowned for its numerous stone barns dotted across the landscape, together with its many dry stone walls and its Swaledale sheep - a particularly hardy breed. Until the end of the 19th century, it was an important lead-mining centre, but when the industry effectively closed, many people left the dale to find a living elsewhere. The remains of the industry can still be seen on the fell tops.

There are a large variety of animals who live in the Pitt Wilderness Management Area including geese, ducks, Ospreys, Great Blue Herons, eagles, and other mammals such as beavers, deer, and bears. During the late spring, many geese and ducks can be seen protecting their young goslings from predators. During the evening, beavers can occasionally be spotted swimming along the shore of the dikes.

Stone house ranch was built as a freight and stage station before 1864. Operated for many years along the Ellsworth-Ophir-Barley Creek freight route. When that was over, it was a ranch for many decades and was ultimately abandoned. Nice location with watered meadows.
The old west vibe is strong here!

The Eurasian stone-curlew, Eurasian thick-knee, or simply stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus).
The Eurasian stone curlew occurs throughout Europe, North Africa and southwestern Asia. It is a summer migrant in the more temperate European and Asian parts of its range, wintering in Africa. Although the species is of Least Concern, some populations are showing declines due to agricultural intensification. For example, a French population has declined with 26% over 14 years
