Well I don't go out to photograph g/stones, normally stop for a coffee somewhere and walk around while drinking it with camera just snapping away. IF one was yours then you know a g/stone exists and it's just a matter of requesting a better photo by someone plus they are protected structures under various Monument Acts and Bye-Laws.
