A very unique image Richard, it does look very much like ''sacred grounds'' you are entering, and looks great in B&W.

A beautiful and mysterious looking landscape, what is this place?

@Chris Parr: Thanks Chris. Its a town park to the town of Wirksworth, Derbyshire. The town is a bit of an artists enclave, and hosts an international arts festival every September. The whole area is full of creative interpretations dotted here and there.

Well composed. Our eyes converge on the trees at the top of the hill. Amazing detail.

great image, cool gateway, is that a stone circle on the hill ?

@Alun Lambert: Thanks Alun. You have good eyes, it is a stone circle, but not an ancient one, it is a modern interpretation in the shape of an infinity sign made by a local artist.

cool twisty mystical artifacts... the film certainly gives a different sense of light, and I like the subtle gradation of the sky.
