The Rollright Stones is an ancient site located on the Oxfordshire & Warwickshire border in England. The complex consists of three main elements, The Kings Men stone circle, the King Stone, and the Whispering Knights.

I have always wanted to visit this ancient site and last night i finally had the chance. Looking of other photography taken here, I knew it would be a challenge to get a shot that was more than just a snap shot of the location.

Still, with a little bit of imagination, at 2am and to the amusement of others I decided to run around the stones like loon. Thankfully for all who witnessed it I kept my clothes on!

Nicely done, and to great effect. I hope no sacrifices were involved!

Ha no! but my knowledge of black magic is a little rusty so I wasn't sure if running in a clockwise direction would be better or worse than running anti clockwise, in the end I just got on with it and hoped nothing odd happened

I know what you mean, the site is fascinating and being a dark sky location is great for stars as well, but in daylight the stones are rather underwhelming. Great idea to liven them up with this!
