During my drive through southern Scotland and England, I was heading to Bath and stopped at Lacock Abbey, since it was one of the birthplaces of photography. In the shop there I found a book , "The Silbury Treasure", by Michael Dames, about Silbury Hill, which I had never heard of. The next day I went there, climbed to the top, and lay back in the grass with my head on my camera bag. I was in a slight depression, and was only aware of the grass around me and the sky above. I felt like I was floating, having no weight. It was magical.
