The place where I live is an old pit-village, and there're marks of this former productivity resting all around. While more modern walls fall over and sink into the earth, these fence-posts look as though they'd last out a missile strike.

Rocks vs. People is a no-contest, really.

Taken July 2005, again in the fields around Shiremoor. And, again, at sunrise. There've been a few fairly different versions of this image, but I think I've come across one that I'm reasonably happy with - the pillar in the middle separates the light and the dark quite nicely.
