Castlerigg...

An interesting assortment of people visit the stones at Castlerigg. Families, couples, other bearded photographers... and those who have a particular interest in standing stores and their place in folklore. They like to believe that the stones have special powers... imagining that they crackle with neolithic energy. I've seen coins left at the base of the stones; I'm not sure why. Some people have firm convictions about stone circles, and why they were built, but I'm happy in my unknowing, just enjoying the location and the changing light. The truth may be quite prosaic...
