As long as there are no flying prime saucers in the
picture, there is nothing wrong with photographs.
The problem here is that they are only a point in space
and time.
Important is that the area is generaly sloping from the
northeast to the southwest. In simple terms that means
that every hole in the ground is infiltrated from the north-
east and drained to the south-west. That is exactly what
you see around the runestone'valley' (in fact three in
theory interconnected 'valleys', with the surface between
1350 and 1360 ft).

The watertabel in the lakes west and south is 10 - 20 ft
lower, and in the east 20 - 25 ft higher.
In order to restore RS'valley in its supposed wet natural
conditions, there are two ways:
1. dig it out lower than the groundwaterlevel.
2. block the artificial draining and, depending on the
   desired waterlevel, create some new dams in the south.
   And don't breach the road which is blocking it from Eng
    lake!
The second solution is of course the cheapest.

RS'valley' is now wetter than before, but it is not the
natural "pre-settlement" situation, because it is a
stagnated situation, isolated from the surroundings.
One of the aims in my bussiness is to restore autonomous
functioning natural systems. The way to do that is a kind
of rewinding time to a (arbitrairy) past, by removing as
much as possible direct and indirect interfering human
influences.

If you take a look at the map (I am looking at a 3x3 mile
one) then you see that a lot of roads in the area are in
fact functioning as dams, blocking both infiltration and
drainage. That is why I earlier wrote that in order to
restore the original waterlevel around runestone hill, there
are more dams to remove then to construct.

It is difficult for me to predict here and now wat the
net result for RS'-valley' would be. But in all cases
it is very difficult to imagine RS-hill as an island in
a lake. More likely a peninsula in a bog.



Peter,
now you are speaking as you were speaking out of the blue.
You should have known a bit about this, but you obviously don't......

What do you mean?
Calling someone wrong is very easy.
Please tell me where and why I'm wrong.
