I totally agree, Sem and thanks. Patience is a great virtue for a photographer - you have to be prepared to wait for the right light. Pre-planning by consulting a map is useful as then you can work out where the sun will be in the morning, afternoon and evening. Weather forecasts are essential and don't forget the quick check you can get from every site page on the Portal - just click on the sunburst icon on the far right. That takes you to Weather Channel for an immediate local forecast.
Often the unexpected can give great results eg you go hoping for a clear sky and you get a black thunder storm. The most magical effect can be seen when low sun lights your subject in a golden glow and you have a great big bruiser of a dark thunder cloud in the background. Then again - ancient stones show all sorts of hidden colours after heavy rain. We have to be opportunists as well as planners and stalkers.
The joys of megalithic photography!
