Castlerigg Stone Circle, Lake District. Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the finest in Cumbria, it is spectacularly situated within a panorama of rugged hills of ever changing character, depending on the mercurial Lakeland weather. The circle consists of 38 stones of variable sizes and shapes; they are all un-hewn boulders, some standing over 5 feet in height, although some have fallen in the 5000 years since their erection. It has been estimated there were originally around 41 stones. This photograph is taken at sunset looking West, I used two ND grad. filters to ensure that both the foreground and the sky were correctly exposed. Pentax Mz3 SLR Sigma 28 - 135mm lens. |
