Legend has it that Merlin, King Arthur's wizard was captured by Morgane and held captive here, hence the name. He did however escape by encapsulating himself in a bubble of air, rolling himself down the valley and when the bubble burst he was freed. Not only is this area picturesque it has a microclimate and today it must have been a balmy 18C and as you can see from this shot, no wind.
Super focus and handling of the light and reflections! What an interesting story! People do that today for fun - roll down a hillside in a bubble of air! fav
Beautiful shot and intriguing story - I've heard or read in one of the legends that Merlin is supposed to live backward in time, which Means that he already knew he was going to get caught ... I find that part fascinating but also very hard to grasp. How should it be possible without changing the concept of time

In the long since era before life was before what we know today et alia, I imagine legend was anything you wanted to it to be. The oral tradition conveyed the story or legend in a way that defined earlier generations and their lives. Now we've decided that's not enough...so we postulate the future!?
It's an easy FAV!
