Crikey - its making me dizzy looking at this! What have you done in the processing of this photo Sunny?

Looks like a shot from screen/monitor.

Don't know, just worked out that way, with a little bit of tweaking here and there and colour. It's not a screen shot.

No sorry Martin, it's not a screen/monitor shot. I was trying to bring out the swirls and key-patterning.

Wow, stunning Sunny. So your image processing perfectly imitates results obtained when taking a screenshot of a videoscreen. I really thought you had a video film of the site.

Thanks for the kind words Martin. I think i follow what you say. Wish i did have a video of the site. Never mind.

Hi Sunny, is this a recent shot? I visited 2002/3 and it was in that concrete with the grille around it, slap bang in the centre of a kiddies' adventure playground beside a farmhouse. There was a wooden hut near the house where they charged admission to an open farm. When I said I only wanted to spend a little time photographing the stone, they let me in for free which was nice.

No not recent, back in 1992 i think. Such an historic monument should not be sited in a children's playground. Have the powers that be no thought for these ancient stones. Thanks for your observations Runemage, cheers.
