Toureen Stone Circle
-
Just thought I’d post this, not for any particular critique, but primarily to follow up on a post by Pete27 on a standing stone in a forest.
This ancient stone circle was constructed in the bronze age 4,000 – 2,500BC, and the site was damaged by wreckless planting some 30 years ago.
It is a difficult site to photograph as to the immediate east, west and south are huge conifers.
I have photographed this site on a number of occassions, and I quite like this image.
Cheers Mike!
Maybe this post will bring to the attention of those in some position of authority to see the
mindless damage that has been done in the name of progress & a quick buck.Any plank can plant a tree but history & heritage hold a greater value.
thank you both for your comments,
harvesting has just begun in this area, we’ll be keeping a close eye!looks like with a bit of care they should be able to avoid the above ground features… a pity for anything under the surface outlying the circle though…
i think you’ve done a nice job with the composition and managing to get the whole circle into the frame. for a while i was visiting ancient monuments such as this for photography but found that on the whole they are very very difficult to deal with and i was often unsatisfied with the results…
thanks Isabella,
I find myself visit these sites at least once a year, and each time I try taking shots from a number of different angles. They are very difficult to photograph, but don’t give up on them.
