The Hurlers, Cornwall.

28th August 2004

The Hurlers as they are known are three stone circles on the edge of Bodmin Moor surrounded by the remnants of a copper mining industry.

Waking a short time before sunrise I made my way out into the complex to be greeted by a low mist rising over the dewy ground.

With little cloud in the sky this promised to be a good opportunity with plenty to shoot.

The pictures on this page were all taken within half an hour after which the mist had almost disappeared.

There are so many locations where viewpoints are limited for various reasons, here it is quite the opposite problem.

There are so many possibilities that it is difficult to know where to start.

Once started it is easy to end up running from one spot to the next like a mad thing.

Eventually my favourite shot came from two stones just outside the circles known as the Pipers.

This is a location I had visited before and I shall certainly return if I am in the area again.
