Moonrise
#4928 Avebury Stone Circle, Wiltshire, England |
I arrived in Avebury to catch the moon rising behind the standing stones on
West Kennet Avenue.
The tourists had gone and I was left alone (or so I thought) with a sight
of rare beauty. As I was taking
this shot, I looked down and was totally surprised to see a Hare right near
my feet. It slowly hopped off,
but I could hardly believe it. I don't see Hares very often, and to see one
so close was a real treat.
This shot, showing detail in the moon, was impossible before digital technology.
You either had a detailed
moon and everything else was black, or a very bright moon with no detail (looking
more like the sun)
and everything else correctly exposed. So, this shot is a very modern
interpretation of a very ancient
sight - one that has been around for over 4000 years. West Kennet Avenue was
built between 2400 and
2300 BC
