Log Text: Arrived at Stonehenge before dawn, watched the sun slowly rise from the roadside, crossed the road, popped my kite and camera into the air and then watched Stonehenge security scurry towards me before they told me to take it down because I might damage the stones.

Log Text: Visited this site in the morning with strong low sunlight which was fantastic for showing up the cup and ring marks. I stayed for a while as the sun rose, highlighting further cup and ring marks. Unfenced out in the field a short distance to the west of the main group a few more ring marks were visible where the grass has worn away.
With the permission of the farmer, I flew my kite here to take some aerial photographs of the rock art. There were a couple of cows in the field but they were only mildly interested in what I was doing.

King Arthur's Round Table submitted by h_fenton on 1st Oct 2010. King Arthur's Round Table.
I tried to fly the kite here but the wind was too inconsistent to safely get the camera high enough. Here instead of a kite I used a carp fishing pole, with a camera attachment on the end to lift my camera higher (6-7 metres).

Knock Rock Art (1)

Knock Rock Art (1) submitted by h_fenton on 1st Oct 2010. Knock 1. below the Gavin Maxwell otter memorial.
A week or so before the autumn equinox shortly after sunrise a finger like shadow of the piece of rock on the outcrop passed right through the centre of the cup and ring mark. Because the light was low it was difficult to effectively photograph.
I waited until the sun was a little higher and brighter then I put my finger close to the lump on the rock that casts the shadow - to indicate the shadow across the circle. At one point the end...
