Click and drag your mouse
in the picture to scroll around the circle of Castlerigg. This panorama
was taken sometime between 8-9am in mid April 2003 and the colour
of the stones changes with the position of the sun. In the mornings
the stones have a cool grey hue but as the sun moves round towards
the west the evening sunlight transforms them into a rich golden brown
(compass arrow indicates north). Note: This page uses a small Java applet to power the panorama, if no image appears in the frame above then you either don't have Java installed or have it switched off or blocked from running in your browser. |
