Bull Ring

Henge

Bull Ring henge with a lot of Photoshop work. Not easy to capture the whole thing without crazy lenses or aerial photos. I like the contrast between the straight pylons and the circular henge . . .
Don’t forget to come to the open day on 30th July for as much henge related fun as you can shake a flint axe at . . .

Creswell Crags

Cave / Rock Shelter

A shot from 3rd June 2010. A touch of HDR processing from a RAW file. Had it all to myself. Spent several hours (yes hours) in the visitors centre just staring at the Ochre Horse. It is truly mesmerising.
Well worth a visit if you live within 12,000 miles !!
Enjoy

Arbor Low outer circle stone looking inwards.
Green speckled French serpentine point butted insanely polished “ritual” axe (approx 4700BC)
This is not just a special axe – it is sensational in every respect. No signs of any wear or hafting marks. Beautiful condition. Found Gargas, Pyrenees, France in 1923, previously in Paris museum (sold by them in the 1950s). This axe fascinates museum curators all over Britain . . . Enjoy.
