Avebury (Friday 6th February 2015)

I will remember this walk as one of the coldest in living memory. Although the temperature was above freezing, as the soggy chalk soil testified, there was a numbingly bitter wind.

My plan had been to have a stroll around Avebury before going on to shop in Marlborough, but by the time I got back to the car I was only fit to go home, although I was pleased to have done the walk.

I had parked at the bottom of West Kennett Avenue and walked up the sarsen stone-lined path to the stone circle and henge. I wandered among the stones in the south-east and north-east quadrants and walked back along the top of the henge to the avenue, catching the low afternoon light. The blip was taken with my new 55mm prime, which, unless it is coincidence, seems to add a golden cast to its images.
