Description The King's Men at morning twilight 21/02/2010 - the first time I've ever had the place 'to myself'. 70 minutes of thoughtful solitude, not waiting for people to get out of the shot, and even a mystical vibe or two. Very memorable visit.

Lucky you Tim. Though I envy you I doubt that I'd want to crawl out of my lovely warm bed, so do appreciate you sharing your lovely pics! This one has a fairytale effect: you're hidden and waiting to see the ........ appear in the circle.

Yeah I was lucky Angie - crawling out of bed was a good thing to do on this day. I need stones, and I now have family within 20 miles of The Rollrights, and getting here, almost whatever the weather, was personally important. I felt I encountered the spirit of the place here on this solitary visit - whether that's in a poetic of literal sense, that's up to you!

Tim, thanks for sharing some great impressions of your solitary visit. I also prefer visits at these more unusal daytimes (or nighttimes), probably for similar reasons ;-)
