**Swinside** submitted by JACKME : Midwinter at Swinside. This photo was taken on the 22/12/96 and shows the shadow of Stone 30, The Great Stone level with Stone 11, a familiar shape. Unfortunately the timing of the photo was just wrong. See The Great Stone Circles - How they Work, for further information (Vote or comment on this photo)

Following 12 years of research visiting many of the circles in Britain and Ireland, retired farmer, Jack Morris-Eyton claims to have unravelled what no one else has done before - why, where and how the great stone circles worked. Jack does not profess to have the answers to all of the stone circle mysteries, indeed he admits himself there is still much to learn, but through this series of articles he hopes to provide some possible answers to many intriguing questions.
