The location is Knowlton henge and earthworks near to the village of Horton in Dorset. It is looked after by English Heritage so don’t worry about its future, I’m sure it will remain as it currently appears for a long time to come. It’s a popular spot for photographers and I probably visit a few times each year. I was filmed here by the local regional BBC evening news programme some years ago.

This is Boscombe Pier. There are two piers along the coast here, about two miles apart. Bournemouth pier is further to the west.

The only light source is from my iMac screen. It was displaying a blank A4 sheet of paper in full screen mode with the brightness turned up by two. This is a great source of polarised light.

Well done, mine all died in the heatwave !

Thank you for the very kind comments. I’m very pleased with the photograph and pleased to have avoided the “usual” angle for this subject.

Thank you all for the comments. It was a great start to the day.
