Not the only shot from this location on my blog, but my favourite of the two here (and of the 10 or so I took) - taken just a few minutes after the previous one.

Swinside Stone Circle
One of our favourite stone circles - not too easy to get to, but not too complicated either, and always worth the effort.
Swinside Stone Circle (also known as Sunkenkirk) is a lovely well-preserved circle located on private ground which consists of 55 stones set in a 28.7m diameter circle. It can easily be viewed from a nearby public footpath however a small number of courteous visitors make the trip to the stones themselves, arousing the suspicions of playful calves.

Groyne, St Bees
These structures might be a bit of a photographic cliché but all the same it was something that I wanted to get a few shots of while I had the chance.
I waited for the light to soften before making the short walk from where we were staying to the beach and got this shot just a few moments before the sun dipped out of sight behind the headland. I needed a slow shutter speed in the fading light (1/20s) and it gave me an excuse to use my new, extremely budget Velbon CX-640 tripod that I picked up for £20 when they were on offer at Jacobs.
