Castlerigg Circle

Castlerigg stone circle in the English Lake District is actually remarkably difficult to photograph well and is nearly always photographed as a panoramic and quite often in black and white to add drama and mood. Naturally being fickle and Scottish I decided to try out this mellow alternative. Soft lemon light of Autumn painted the grass and distant slopes already turning rusty from the bracken. It was the soft light and decision to include only some of the stones that provides a slightly different perspective on a popular subject.
