This photo looks stark but mystical - in other words "magical".

Wow, wonderful shot! But what is it? Ash? Ice?

This is a very good looking photo. I love that tone. I don't know how to get that tone in Lightroom or Photoshop. Can you share with me what you do to come up with it?

Nice photo, almost as if you can still feel the druids within the stones.

Neither these are a hard crystalline rock know as Lewisian Gneiss and are about 5,000 years old.

It's called Cyanotype, easily done in PP to replicate the original Cyanotype process. Basically it's a black and white conversion and then by adding split toning... one colour to the highlights and another to the shadows (in this case blue) and then tweak to suit.

They were certainly active there one time, I don't know about these days.

Can you actually walk amongst them?
I know stonehenge is off limits.
