Simply gorgeous Rich, doesn’t look as cold as when i took David Parkin there though, had ice forming on the lens and tripod that day LOL

wow what a magical place

Hi Rich, cracking shot. The angle looks interesting….as if you were higher up…I’m puzzled!

stunning shot, wow, so very impressive, great depth, colors and perspective, very impressive

This is superb. Its the perfect angle. I hope you have got an image stabiliser on your jetpack?

You dont, by any chance own a cherry picker or a fire engine do you?

no but I did wonder about using a cherry picker parked in the lane, I tried the roof of my landrover but the road is to far to get a good angle. like the circle it self it shall remain a mystery!!!!!

What’s on the stick Vic?

So are you saying that you were actually on the site..not on the road? Hmmm..gets even more puzzling!

yepp 12 meters form the circle.

Great colours and light. Wonderful picture.

Great one Rich!

wow great shot.

Wonderful shot, lovely composition and colours!

You nailed it on this try. It’s just lovely.

Well worth the wait Rich. exceptional light.

kev

Brilliant, stunningly well captured.

stunning shot Rich

What a great idea to shoot from this angle! And the colours are beautiful. Congrats.

Fantastic, impressive and wonderful, well done!!!!

Excellent capture
This looks like one cold morning, worth it for the solitude.
Hope to get some images at Easter we are staying at Scales.

Beautiful image Rich

persistence pays!

WOW!!
This is a fantastic capture.
I’m down there on Friday, although I doubt weather I will come away with anything like this.

Awesome Photo!

i love england it a really beautifull country, u have a great photogallery :)

The sunrise really gives this image POWER! What a wonderful place. thansnk for sharing.

yepp it took some effort to get this image taken for the National trust.

Excellent!

Very satisfying image. The wonderful color is obvious. I think your camera angle was perfectly chosen for effective presentation of the circle. Thanks for getting it all just right.

Definitely a glorious sunrise Rich! Fabulous capture!!

I have a few images from there as well, but mine were all taken in bright sunlight and with hundreds of touritsts(!) I only wish mine were half as good as this one. It was WELL worth waking up early and bracing the cold. Did you get it published?

wow speechless on this one

What an amazing shot and gorgeous sky, you have done well here with both the composure and the colour.
Congradulations Rich on a beautifull shot. . . .

Amazing capture Rich Well worth your persistence mate !!! TC Heather !!!

Incredible color and light – sunrise generally isn’t that intense. If those stones could tell their story…

thanks Jan, I think the ground being coverd in a hard froset reflect the light which makes it look so intense.

oh wow thats absolutely incredible!!!
I love the colors and the sky and the ring, woahhhh

I appreciate your efforts!
what a beautie!

Beautiful work….great shot.

this is a lovely shot mate, the treatment and light are amazing, im just curious as to how you got the angle…..did you use ladders?

Great atmospheric shot

So magical and creative. Lovely shot!!!

fabulous, rich and not so lucky – you had to get up early to be there!

Magnificent! I feel like such an amateur!!

This one stops me in my tracks!

Excellent shot Rich, 3000bc will do, near enough….I hope to see for my self next year, I pray I get the same sunrise as you.

fascinating site, fantastic shot

Hi Rich. You do indeed live in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Love this shot colours simply lovely and a sunrise as well! Visited the lakes seems like forever never get tired of its beauty. Not grabbed a shot like this of the circles though. Well done. Cheers Steve
