Can be found not far from the famous Ullfington Horse along the Ridgeway.
This a large Neolithic chambered Long Barrow located in Oxfordshire. It is thought to be about 5500 years old.
14 people were buried this tomb. Then sometime around 3300 BC a longer tomb was built on top of it with 3 stone chambers. 8 bodies were found in the newer sections.
The location has a real magical feeling to it. Just off the ridgeway path surrounded by tall trees and the sounds of nature and cool shade. Lovely spot to pause for a picnic while exploring all the great old sites in the area.
If you're into this kind of thing add it to your list of places to visit in this area.
Captured Sept. 13, 2002 with an old Olympus 2100, 2 mp super zoom bridge camera.
Edited this morning with Photoshop and Viveza and Alien Skin's Exposure X for further black and white editing.

Goliath. visually explores the theme of scale, emphasizing the contrast between the immense size of urban architecture and the relative smallness of individual human experience within these spaces. It is a study in contrasts: solidity and void, opacity and transparency, enormity and minutiae. Goliath. ultimately raises questions about the individual's place in the architectural colossus of the urban landscape.
Precision and repetition — the lens never blinks. A calm, clinical landscape where lines dominate and surveillance becomes part of the aesthetic language.
An all-seeing eye under sterile chrome — surveillance camouflaged in elegance. At BMW Welt, function and design merge in silent observation
Morning window reflections on some UD walls and bench.
Captured with iPhone edited on the iPad in Snapseed then into Alien Skin Exposure X on the desktop for black and white editing.
Happy Monday everyone!

Thanks for looking and / or commenting,
Best Regards,

Geometry watches you. Angles converge with precision while the chrome sentinel blends into the modernist canvas — quiet but vigilant.
The black and white version of one posted last year.
Český Krumlov Castle from alley way above and across the river.
Český Krumlov is a beautiful small city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.
Old Český Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It sits high on the hill top, spreads downward from hilltops and straddles the Vltava River to join the castle on the other side.
Captured October 2014 with Olympus E-M10 edited on the iPad in Snapseed and finished off on the desktop with many adjustment layers and masks in Photoshop and then into Alien Skin's Exposure x for black and white conversion and edits.

Entrance to a pub in Whitchurch (North Shropshire, in the Welsh Borders of west-central England), on a partly sunny day towards the end of May (2015).
The chalkboard lists the ales available on tap that day. The White Bear is a free house, so it is not tied to a particular brewery or pub chain. The greenery and flowers are characteristic of pub gardens and courtyards, and the "friendly dogs welcome" policy fits in with the informal atmosphere. As has become increasingly common, partly in an effort to help keep pubs open, free Wi-Fi is also featured.
Whitchurch is a market town in northernmost Shropshire, near the borders of both Cheshire (England) and an eastern part of Wrexham County Borough (northeastern Wales). The site of continuous settlement since at least its Roman foundation as Mediolanum, it has been a market town since the 14th century and is still noted as an outlet for the cheese of the area. One prominent landmark is the steeple of the 18th-century St Alkmund's Church (begun 1712), which was constructed of red sandstone; however, a predecessor building known as the "white church" was the source of the town's name. Whitchurch continues to have many historic buildings, in both the traditional half-timbered style -- as can be seen here -- and later Georgian brick.
(Information from the Shropshire Star town guide dated May 4, 2004 and Wikipedia, both last consulted 23 May 2020.)

Another version of the Keep Out Door.
When I posted the original color version in the spring I was really torn about which one to post.
In the end I thought this one would be good saved for Halloween week.
Captured with iPhone and edited on the iPad in Snapseed then into Fotograf for further black and white editing.

About The Shape of Light Series:
Architectural shapes and spaces are revealed and formed by light. And at the same time I try to capture and visualize the light as a strong and almost tangible shape to emphasize its necessary existence and the strong connection between light and architecture.
Light shapes - Shape the light.

Captured in the morning on campus for Window and Wall Wednesday using iPhone and the black and white, square shooting, Contrast app.
I'm not really a fan of this building, but on some days I do like the way light interacts with it.
HWW to the window stalkers. Have a great rest of the week and keep safe in this cold and snowy forecast.
