Castlerigg Stone Circle

Castlerigg Circle, Cumbria, England.

Normally photographed as a moody black and white pano in storm light, this is a very different take on the Castlerigg stones. I haven't included them all, the composition would have been far too windy for my squarish format. I chose to select the ones I liked best and watched as lemon yellow light painted them, complementing the colours so softly and gently against the reddening bracken slopes behind.

I have been to Castlerigg....and this is a great and atmospheric shot.The lighting, gentle mistlike haze and clours are well balanced and create a mystical feel. I mourn that I had no camera at the time.
