Castlerigg Stone Circle, Keswick, Cumbria

            Castlerigg Stone Circle is a late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age stone circle situated close to Keswick in the English Lake District.

As I walked up to the circle on this occasion the furrows in the foreground were the first things that caught my eye. I love how they appear to converge on the circle. I'm guessing that this is just an optical illusion and they are actually parallel to each other. If I'd arrived at a different time I wonder if I'd have noticed them. The Sun is just at the correct height to highlight them.

I took this photo a few weeks ago but after a few unsuccessful attempts at editing it I've finally managed to get it to a point where I'm happy.

The photo is a 2 shot panorama using a late 1970's all manual SMC PENTAX 28mm F3.5. Stitched using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor.
