It is at the bottom of the list of stunning photos.
The comment:

"Alex Wrigley captured this shot of Swinside Stone Circle, which he believes is one of the lesser-visited late Neolithic sites in Cumbria. He said: 'There's a particularly high concentration of Neolithic constructions in the area, including the Giant's Grave a few miles away in Kirksanton; Birkrigg, and Grey Croft Stone Circles a bit further afield, and a number of other sites hinted at on the surrounding fells. As far as the image goes, the heavy snow cover and lack of foot traffic leaves the area in pristine condition on this cold January morning. The snow also helps to obscure some of the more obvious signs of modern life, and you can certainly imagine our ancestors enjoying this view thousands of years ago' "

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
