@clinkadink How weird. I gave Stonehenge as an example to the missus when I was explaining the long shadow thing! We were walking in our local NT contemplating ignoring their rule and taking a shot very early am from a remote part of their estate, before the staff arrive. 
Agreed!
PICNIC and PEBKAC errors were also prevalent in ours!
Need some sun again

I had a brief period of sunshine this morning, so drove half an hour to a location I had in mind for this, unpacked the drone, then realised I’d forgotten the bloody SD card 
Then the clouds arrived 
Mini 2 selfie long (compared to size of Mini 2) shadow with bonus garden lighting. Taken in flight, as low as it can go without landing and led torch providing the shadow. Not that windy but it was blowing in random directions at ground level so Twoie was wobblier than I hoped for.

I would like to call this one Long Shadow as its more like Short Shadow.
I had a short period of time to go out and get a picture today when the sun was too high to lengthen the shadow - at the moment I have to be home to look after my wife due to her recent fall and suffering quite a large break to her upper arm.
I shall try again as the wife improves hoping the sun will make further appearances.

The National Memorial Arboretum is a British site of national remembrance at Alrewas, near Lichfield, Staffordshire. Its objective is to honour the fallen, recognise service and sacrifice, and foster pride in the British Armed Forces and civilian community.
A general view of the memorial, which commemorates service men and women killed since 1945. The two curved walls and two straight walls are made from bricks covered with Portland stone panels. At the centre of the Memorial are two bronze sculptures created by Ian Rank-Broadley. This memorial remembers over 16000 people who has been killed or sacrificed their lives while on duty or targeted by terrorists or they died on operational theatre for us. Their names have been written in a panel for us to remember their significance in the Armed Forces.

Pleased to have managed a last minute entry especially as I was fortunate the sun made a brief appearance once the drone was in the air, I flew from an outside area to reach the monument as it is on National Trust Land etc etc. This is my entry.
The Bridgewater Monument is a Grade II* listed monumental column in the Ashridge estate in Hertfordshire, England. It was built in 1832 to commemorate Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, known as the “Canal Duke”. Wikipedia
