Castlerigg Stone Circle

1 February 2004

The weather wasn't nearly so good as on the previous trip. It had been raining heavily for some time, and was quite windy. There was flooding all over England at this time.

31Jan04. Castlerigg Stone Circle. One thing I like about this circle, is the view is never the same twice.

31Jan04. The Sanctuary, Castlerigg Stone Circle. It was so dark, I needed to up the ISO on the camera, which is why many of these pictures are quite grainy.

31Jan04. I hadn't realized it on previous trips, but this lone stone, quite far away from the circle, is actually part of it. I included the built-in stile because I thought it was interesting.

31Jan04. One of the theories that I've read about Castlerigg is that certain stones reflect the shape of the mountains around them. Certainly seems to hold true for this one!
