How did Julian overcome this 'problem' I wonder?
It's a good question that I will be asking him.

Naturally I have been thinking about this since posting it. While I do understand that even though most are on Access Land, that land does still belong to someone. Can you imagine me, first tracking down who owns what land, then walking up to said kindly farmer, consent form in hand, asking him to sign it so that I can publish a picture of the bunch of rocks on his land that have no doubt annoyed him and his forebearers for centuries?

I think we all know what kind of reaction I would get.

I apologise for the use of the vernacular, but isn't this just another sad example of this fucked up politically incorrect world and the small minded ones who think they run it.

P.S. I don't think it's the taking of the pictures that is at issue here, but it is the publishing of them without everyone's consent (bullshit IMHO). Bottom line is that the NT won't make any money out of it so will do what they can to stop it or grab a slice of the pie. That's my take. I expect English Heritage to come a-knocking shortly also...

Not sure how long copyrights last (30 or 50 years maybe?), so I am fairly confident that the copyright on Arbor Low etc. expired some time back now :-)
