Long Meg And Her Daughters submitted by nicoladidsbury on 13th Jul 2005. Long Meg in midsummer moonlight. The solstice night is very short, but when you're waiting for the sun to rise, it gives plenty of opportuntiy to experiment with photos! I took this photo around 2am, in the middle of the solstice night. The moon was shining very brightly casting beautiful moonlight shadows, it felt very magical. I turned up my ISO rating to catch as much light as I could, and set the timer for 30 seconds. This is the result. I know its a grainy picture, and rather odd, but the b...

Log Text: Found this circle on a local map and decided to visit, it takes a bit of working out where it is as it is not visible feom thw road and getting through a few fieks of nosy cows tongwt there was an adventure in itself. I loved it there though- great energies although many stones seem to be missing

Nine Stones Close submitted by funsize on 4th Jun 2007. Seen from the south with just a hint of sunshine illuminating the frozen landscape around the stones. The guardian oak tree is the perfect companion to the last remaining stones of what was once a much larger monument.

Log Text: A very interesting burial camber. A long walk require from the National Trust car park (charges apply) , the sign post said 1 1/2 miles but l took a route near the Uffington Horse so it was nearly four miles there on very muddy paths. Great site though, reasonably well sign posted (although l did wonder when l was a mile down the track leading to it and qondered whether l had passed it!) Very clean area, atmospheric but isolated

Log Text: Well sign poated, as is The Cove in the village. A couple of parking spaces available near the gate leading to the circle. I could only look from the wall at the edge of the field as it was extremely muddy- the circle is on farmland with permitted access and had been used for cattle so was very churned up. Could of been amazing going to the stones with the low winter sun

Shot inside the Eastern edge of the Circle, looking due north.
We have the NorthEast Trilithon on the left with the morning-shadow of Stones 6/7/107 falling across it.
Bluestone 32-C is in the shadow of Stone 6.
It was a lovely morning!

Log Text: Before turning into Goodmanham village from Market Weighton turn into Spring Lane. There is now a small layby with a sign pointing down to the well. Well cared for space with steps down- quite steep. Someone had cut foliage around the well so l scooped out what l could to help the water flow. Clootie tree further down (more steps) and a sign with information on
I also looked for the Lady well in Goodmanham village but no sign so maybe dry at this time of year

Log Text: Amazing site in the village of Xaghra. Buses every hour on Gozo, some go to the village itself or others stop 2km away
A stylish visitors centre seems out of place in the village and a walk through the museum and exhibits leads you to a walk to the temple itself. Its obviously very impressive. Part of the temple is still held up by scaffolding but with the age and the sheer size its in need of support. Breathtaking to be honest. A small shop leads you out back into the village where the bus stop is literally metres away
Beware the day tours give 45 mins to this site and then onto others. I am glad l made my way there and spent time as and when l pleased
A few sets near the site would be good Heritage Malta, it can be bakingly hot
