Description The Holy Well on a foggy September day - I've not yet seen it in May but this is one of the most powerful places I've visited even at this time of year. I was struck by the Rousseau-like quality of this image even on my camera's LCD - how strange to now see a similar comment by one of the other contributors to this site. It's that primeval quality that goes DEEP inside... something more than primeval - it's archetypal.

If you like primeval, ancient settings, then try Glastonbury Tor, 6:30 am on a February morning just before the sun rises. You may be lucky to see why it was called the Glass Isle.
Ive yet to visit Sancreed Well, I shall do so this summer hols, but I did visit a small one east of there, not far, cant remember its name, but it too was quite atmospheric. From these pics, I cant wait to get there and soak up the ambience.
