A shot made attaching a Sky-Watcher ST2060 spotting scope to the camera.
The photo is made at the shortest zoom (20×), and the image in the viewfinder was almost totally black: this is the best focusing I got with some attempts.
This is a detail of the bell tower of Cervo: the image below was taken about 150 yds. closer.
Una scatto fatto attaccando alla macchina uno spotting scope Sky-Watcher ST2060.
La foto è fatta allo zoom minimo (20×), e l'immagine nel mirino era quasi totalmente nera: questo è il miglior fuoco che ho avuto con vari tentativi.
Questo è un dettaglio del campanile di Cervo: l'immagine sotto è stata ripresa circa 150 metri più vicino.

High on the stone viewed against the heavens there is a Sky Serpent almost acting a skin shedding form remaking fast as lightening bound conductor that is the beginning and ending of process in the balanced the double discs of Sun and Moon, light and dark, Summer and Winter, plenty and poverty, feast and famine this cycle if balanced holds the peaceful Z-rod which is ever ready to become a sling thrown so the fractured rod greets welcome visitors and warns all others as the mirror and comb show the people here take care of themselves welcoming those that need shelter and warning those that would think they can roam and raid without being seen and without being sought after with due consideration. All of that is inscribed on the roadside face of the stone. At the rear low down there are Prehistoric Cup Marks that could be a sign that the new inscription either builds on the past heritage, or over throws it reversing and reusing the stone. These excellent smooth cup, or bowl like hollow workings leaving a pattern that seems ready to be aligned to the stars, overlaid on a map, or it is patiently waiting for a viewer to sit at the right place and to watch what the indentations trace, not in the stone, rather in the perception of a patient viewer.
Aberlemno 1 is the an amazing stone monument. The stone beautifully embraces the symbols inscribed by the Picts. The stone as seen from the roadside is a superb emblematic enigma. The symbols have historians, archaeologist and many interested parties proposing possible interpretations of the many Pictish Stones that have been found in Scotland. The Picts left no written accounts and the symbols need to be seen with a Pictish mind-scape, a glimpse into what the symbols meant for them. Whilst the debate continues the stones still attract much attention, they a beautiful and there human artistic sculpting definitely talks to the human consciousness. The contemporary voice from and with the stones gives ideas of raising a commemorative monument for a grave, boundary or ritual marker.

The Serpent Stone Aberlemno 1 is classified under the J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's survey as a Class I stone.
Pictish stone - Classification
Class I — unworked stones with symbols only incised. There is no cross on either side. Class I stones date back to the 6th, 7th and 8th century.
Class II — stones of more or less rectangular shape with a large cross and symbol(s) on one or both sides. The symbols, as well as Christian motifs, are carved in relief and the cross with its surroundings is filled with designs. Class II stones date from the 8th and 9th century.
Class III — these stones feature no idiomatic Pictish symbols. The stones can be cross-slabs, recumbent gravemarkers, free-standing crosses, and composite stone shrines. They originate in the 8th or 9th century. Historic Scotland describes this class as "too simplistic" and says "Nowadays this is not considered a useful category. A surviving fragment may belong to a monument that did include Christian imagery".

Here's what we completed in the first class of "Beginning Quilting." I'm actually ahead of the game because I was all prepared for class (I had everything cut out as instructed, and brought my own machine unlike the other two students who were borrowing machines from the store, and were thus unfamiliar with their tools), so that's what that stack next to the square is. Those 12 squares will turn into another 3 blocks, which makes up the majority of the quilt top (it's a wall hanging). We have to finish the other 3 for class, and the instructor showed me how to do the pinwheels so I can have those done too.
