Castlerigg is perhaps the most atmospheric and dramatically sited of all British stone circles, with panoramic views and the mountains of Helvellyn and High Seat as a backdrop. It's also among the earliest British circles, raised in about 3000 BC during the Neolithic period.
Margaret and I found this to be a most rewarding visit - with wonderful light - we stayed in the centre of Keswick, so it was within fairly easy walking distance. Had to wait for the 'stone huggers' to clear off before taking this !! A lot of people like to visit here and soak up the atmosphere, not surprisingly.
Textures: My own, and one from PicMonkey.
"And the nights are long
And the days go on
And you feel like home
And the nights are long
And the days go on
I don't feel the same anymore
And the nights are long
And the days go on
And you feel like home"

Moss grows on a stone fence surrounding an old cemetery. Many of you out there are suffering from drought or flooding-thoughts are with you.
I've been off the web for a week, it is good to be back and see all your wonderful photographs.
Basalt is very hard. It can stand the polishing force of the ocean well into mythical times, but human tools can quickly loosen its rigid character. The six-sided columns, broken into pieces, fit together like a geometrical puzzle and are often used to reinforce coastal dikes.
Isamu Noguchi uses his tools more subtle. Touching the surface, hammering away like a crazy woodpecker, then seeking deeper and finer, softening and polishing the form, he lays bare its inner beauty.
He does not force the material into a sculptural form. He seeks 'the brilliance of matter beneath the skin'. With that intention, basalt becomes almost fluid.
Stepping Stone Falls is an actual dam, created in 1972 that dammed up the Flint River to form Mott Lake. It became a key part of the Genesee County Parks. It is so wide, a panoramic seemed in order on this beautiful morning in Michigan.
This is a detail from a stone which was to be used as a pendant, but I never finished it.

Stones of Callanish (Callanish I) is a late Neolithic stone circle (~2900-2600 BC) containing 13 standing stones composed of Precambrian metamorphic rocks. I photographed them on a rainy early morning, Callanish, Lewis Island, Scotland. In 'Outlander', the stones were used as a model for a fictional stone circle near Culloden called Craigh na Dun.

Остальные снимки я решил показывать в обратном хронологическом порядке. Историй не будет, самые интересные их них уже были рассказаны.
I decided to show the rest of the pictures in reverse chronological order. There will be no stories, the most interesting ones have already been told.
The Tomnaverie Stone Cirlce near Tarland, Aberdeenshire, is thought to be about 5000 years old and the stones do form a perfect circle. To give a sense of distance, Lochnagar can be seen in the distance if you're to zoom in and view large.
Portland stone is a limestone geological formation (formally named the Portland Stone Formation[1]) dating to the Tithonian age of the Late Jurassic that is quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England.[1] The quarries are cut in beds of white-grey limestone separated by chert beds. It has been used extensively as a building stone throughout the British Isles, notably in major public buildings in London such as St Paul's Cathedral and Buckingham Palace. Portland stone is also exported to many countries, being used for example at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
