The moon on Midwinter Solstice Eve 2004, having risen above The Stiperstones; the outcrop here is known as The Devil's Chair, where the Devil takes up residence when it is veiled, and all spirits and ghosts of Shropshire are said to gather here on the longest night. The huge Bronze Age cairn is off right of this picture.

Great pic - nice to see the moon for a change! (Not forgetting Tom's excellent Avebury pic!)
