Wow - that's a beauty! Fantastic texture and depth - you could almost reach out to touch the stones and walk in to the circle. Great light too

This is a great photo and I hope I can relate it to the Ohio Rock found in the U.S. Is their any markings on any of the stones that look like checker board squares (vertical and horrizontal tool marks)?

Hi, wmsmith. I am afraid i live miles away from Castlerigg, so will not be able to check in the near future. Perhaps some one who lives a little closer will be able to help you. Sorry, Anna

Thanks Anna for your feedback and again for the great photo. I live a long long way from this location, however I can visualize the ancients using this site with the sun dial made like the one in the Ohio Rock to determine where they were in relation as to where they came from.

This photo looks like an inner glow is reaching up to the stones. Yes the texture is wonderfully harsh and soft. I am sure you would like to go back, the picture makes me want to go there.
