Anyone Got any good Stonehenge Shots?

This looks like the same 'issue' with National Trust properties.

Copyright is not mentioned in the English heritage quote - only commercial use of images.

As with many 'private' properties, they can place restriction on entry - one of which is that you must obtain a licence to take commercial photographs.

The question is what constitutes 'commercial photography' and 'publishing'.

NT (and now, it seems EH) appear to be claiming a post on the web is 'publishing', and therefore 'commercial' - and as such requires a licence for the original photograph (which, as far as I am concerned, is crazy).

I suspect the new zeal in enforcing this may be linked to maximise revenue in these budgetary restricted times...
 
I can remeber when I was a kid you just parked at the side of the road and wandered around the stones, no fences or anything, vandalism wasn't a problem. Who gave English Heritage the right to effectively steal the site from what has been part of our birthrite from ancient times.
