Contrasting with the dark, calm, smooth greyness of the interior, the world outside the long barrow, on this warm and windy day, was glowing with colour and light.

Zone plate images of the interior of this 4500 year-old burial chamber in Wiltshire. Having played around with a zone plate body cap on my digital camera I am starting to fall in love with colour once more. I tried these photographs in monochrome and felt that a substantial dimension was missing without the subtle colouration.

I should really have been in my darkroom but got sidetracked by a few experiments with a zone plate lens cap I made some time ago for my digital SLR.
