Fiona and I have experienced many such places over the last week - of course we seek them out. Whilst I could share many photos of standing stones and stone circles such as the Callanish stones below; it can be the carving that gives meaning; or just the particular type of stone; or placing of stones that give meaning.
Callanish stones
Marked - carved stone - Iona
Stone chosen for its texture and inclusions - Callanish and Lochbuie stone
Handheld stone
All this stone is of nature but given meaning and purpose by folk.
stone stairs here (i think) are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteHi V - the stone and subdued light are a good combination. B
ReplyDeleteSo impressive! I'm just reading the Lewis Trilogy by Peter May (hope I've got that right) and I'm finding the islands fascinating. What a wonderful trip! Go well, you two.
ReplyDeleteHi C - read one of his books whilst over here - gives a different take on the landscape. Go well. B
ReplyDeleteAhhh, stones. Thanks for the closeups of these, I can feel them with my eyes. I know I need to travel to the standing stones, to feel them and connect with the texture and weight of my ancestors from these lands.
