Long Meg
Long Meg stone s=circle in north Cumbria.
This is the third largest stone circle in the British Isles, and the sixth largest overall in the world.
It's thought that the circle originally consisted of 70 stones, however today there are only 59 remaining, and of those only 27 are standing.
Stone circles have always fascinated and Long Meg and her daughters has been one that has held peoples fancy more than most. Early in the 19th Century, William Wordsworth said of Long Meg "Next to Stonehenge it is beyond dispute the most notable relick that this or probably any other country contains."
It is said that Long Meg and her daughters were a coven of witches who were holding their sabbat, when the Scottish wizard Michael Scot, came upon them and turned them to stone. The stones of the circle are said to be uncountable, and that should anyone ever reach the same total twice, that the spell would be broken.

Tip:
Taken on a Canon 30D then transposed to Polaroid 669 Silk via a Digital Palette CI-5000S.
Not sure if I pressed too hard, or the film was just too old to do justice to the print ... it did expire in 1993!
