Ash Tree at Long Meg and her Daughters

While visiting the Eden Valley I was keen to see the standing stones of ’Long Meg and her Daughters’ at Hunsonby near Penrith. The ancient stone circle dates from 1500BC. The much younger ash trees nearby gave a dappled shade to sit in while musing on the mysteries of Long Meg. My thoughts also turned towards the impact of the loss of Ash trees in our landscape.

I took several photographs to work on at home, settling on the unusual perspective of looking up and across a branch.
