Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District, Cumbria
Some backgound information:
Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick is one of the most visually impressive prehistoric monuments in Britain. The plateau of Chestnut Hill, on which the monument stands, forms the raised centre of a natural amphitheatre created by the surrounding fells. From within the circle it is possible to see some of the highest peaks in Cumbria: Helvellyn, Skiddaw, Grasmoor and Blencathra.
The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m at its widest and 29.5m at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain.
Current thinking has linked Castlerigg with the Neolithic Langdale axe industry in the nearby Langdale fells, with the circle acting as a meeting place where these axes were traded or exchanged. Ritually deposited stone axes are frequently found all over Britain, suggesting that their use went far beyond their mundane practical capabilities. Because of this, any exchange or trading of stone axes may not have been possible without first taking part in a ritual or ceremony. Castlerigg stone circle could have been the space in which these rituals and ceremonies were enacted.
The slope of the roof of the building and those of the rotor blades on the chopper make for an interesting interaction here ..

“Antoine de Saint-Exupéry quote:
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret;
"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux"
(It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye)
THANX, M, (*_*)
One from the archives, cropped slightly and colour and brightness adjusted.
A smallish Angler fish (Lophius piscatorius) taken at the Farne Islands. As can be seen it is angling for its meal by twitching its lure on the front spine of its dorsal fin. If you look in Large its blue eye is fantastic.
"The angler fish grows up to 200 cm in length and is a very distinctive fish, recognizable by having its head and body depressed, a wide mouth, broad head and a fleshy 'lure' at the end of its first dorsal spine, which is used to attract prey. Its colour can be variable but is principally brown or greeny brown with reddish or dark brown mottlings. It always has a white underside. The skin is loose and scaleless and the midline of the body is fringed with leaf like flaps. Lophius piscatorius is a slow moving, bottom dwelling fish most comonly seen half buried and concealed in the sediment.
The angler fish uses its lure to attract prey to within reach. Prey items are usually smaller fish (such as spurdogs, rays, sand eels, sculpins, sea snails, cod, whiting, pouting, haddock, flatfishes) but a range of items have been found in angler fish stomachs including; lobsters, crabs, squids and occasionally seabirds. Lophius piscatorius is otherwise known as monkfish and is an important commercial fish."
Eventually I might get tired of photographing barnyard animals thru a wide-angle lens.
But not any time soon.

Many UK moths fly in the daytime - often mistaken for butterflies. This Angle Shades moth popped out as I was tidying up the yard. I have even seen one on a frosty day in the middle of winter
The previous photos of this outfit were taken from low camera positions, and so my last set photos of this outfit were taken from a more normal height.
YEA!! He's done!! His "fishing rod" lights up, but you can't see it in the sun. Will get night pictures soon. He's felted over a foam base with a blue LED.
He's about the size of 2 basketballs!!!
