5000 Years Ago!



I was supposed to be going to the Scilly isles this week. For no good reason other than they are there and I've never been! Unfortunately the ferries were cancelled due to severe weather warnings.......... So on my way back home I decided to do some English history sites. I found a few stones in Wiltshire and some more in Little Rollright on the Oxfordshire / Warwickshire border. Apparently people used to hang out in these places 5000 years ago? Blimey! And also I'm not the first to find them, I've been told they're are famous!

Warwick in Winter


It's been a while since my last post. I've some NY pics to post from my trip to the USA, but this picture of Warwick Castle has taken preference due to the snowy wintery feel outside.

I took this picture 06-01-2010 with lots of snow on the ground (not much on the castle though). The lighting was great, a clearish sky, no wind to ripple the river that runs past. And very little passing traffic to spoil the light local to the camera lens.

This was shot in raw format (google it if you need too) and the tones were played with before development. There has been a little blurring addedto the edges due to some lense flare occuring with the long exposure (I think I've hidden the most of it). A quick canvas size border was added to frame it. I hope you like. Comments always welcome.
