In your blog you ruminate about making a 3D model of Arbor Low. Well, someone claims to have already produced one.

It`s not on the net, but Alistair McIvor, who was the first to have a website with all of Derbyshire`s stone circles on it, discusses it here:

http://www.geocities.com/athens/parthenon/6197/arborlow.htm

and there`s a couple of interesting images that he`s produced from the model there, too.
Alistair emigrated to Canada a few years ago.

Oh, BTW, I`ve been up Robin Hood`s Stride and taken an `elevated context` snap of Nine Stones Close:

Thanks Baz!!!!

I'll show that site to John.

I think that's the kind of thing John meant, but I suspect he has in mind something a tiny bit more detailed and 'smooth' or realistic for want of better words. Until recently when he was made redundant I think he was using some pretty special 'kit'.

This is by NO MEANS a slight on Mr McIvor in the least - the quick glance I've had his model looks really good.

Nice pic at
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/image.php?image_id=13795 by the way. That's the kind of thing I meant but I couldn't find the shot. What size lens was that? Were you *right* at the top of RH's Stride?
