Avebury

[Toby Webster]

A too brief visit on Tuesday whilst driving home from Bristol, I passed reluctantly by Barbury Castle and Hackpen Hill up on the ridgeway with mountains of fabulously dramatic stormclouds towering behind them to be rewarded by the most beautiful light at Avebury as the Chandra deluge passed by on each side, miraculously sparing the henge until after I got back to my car. My 120 film camera loaded with HP5 jammed after 2 shots, and fearing that going back to the car to sort it out would cost me the light, I took recourse to my phone.

The first set have it for me Toby, the light and luminosity is beautiful in those images. Having said that I do like the l last one as well though.

The first three and the last one stand out for me but it's a nice set overall Toby, particularly in terms of the light.

The last time I was at Avebury must have been when the sculptor was just finishing off!

Joking of course, but it has to be at least 50 years ago. There were too many folk milling about to even consider trying to get anything decent. Sadly that was in the days when I was in the Army and was posted away shortly afterwards.

On 1 & 2 The rendition of the stones is just about the most difficult thing to capture with the light tones so easily bleached out and the others make a well balanced set- Nice.

A nice set Toby.

What a lot of pretty pictures. The one with the pond is my favorite.
