Standing There

One of my favorite locations close to home. To me, this one old tree appears to be protecting the suroundings.
Thanks for viewing!!
Really liked how the red livery made this narrowboat stand out from the mist and most of the image....luckily the sun was just managing to burst through the fog too
This photo shows a part of the standing stones and doesn't cover the whole site.
The Calanais Standing Stones are an extraordinary cross-shaped setting of stones erected 5,000 years ago. They predate England’s famous Stonehenge monument, and were an important place for ritual activity for at least 2,000 years.
We don’t know why the standing stones at Calanais were erected, but our best guess is that it was a kind of astronomical observatory.
Patrick Ashmore, who excavated at Calanais in the early 1980s writes: ‘The most attractive explanation… is that every 18.6 years, the moon skims especially low over the southern hills. It seems to dance along them, like a great god visiting the earth. Knowledge and prediction of this heavenly event gave earthly authority to those who watched the skies.’

Still standing with a lean - this old farmhouse deserves more respect but think it days will be delegated to housing raccoons, skunks or other vermin!
Happy Mono Monday!

La Dent de Jaman no. DSC_6487.
The Dent de Jaman is a mountain (1875 m) above Montreux, situated north of the Rochers de Naye.
La dent de Jaman est un sommet des préalpes vaudoises situé à 1 875 mètres d'altitudes, dans le canton de Vaud, en Suisse.
Ses contours sont atypiques dans cette région préalpine. La forme générale de la dent de Jaman, de par ses falaises abruptes sur son versant occidental, présente l'aspect d'une canine géante vue depuis le lac Léman. Un sentier assez exposé permet d'atteindre relativement facilement son sommet par le versant oriental. Des groupes de chamois peuplent ses coteaux.
Une crête part de la dent de Jaman, passe par le Merdasson et rejoint les rochers de Naye.
La dent de Jaman est en outre le symbole d'une troupe de scouts de Montreux, la « troupe de Jaman ».
En hiver, les skieurs bénéficient d'un téléski pour profiter d'une piste de 1,86 km de long.
Die Dent de Jaman ist ein Berg in den Berner Alpen oberhalb von Montreux zwischen den Rochers de Naye und dem Pass Col de Jaman. Seine höchste Stelle befindet sich auf 1'875 m ü. M.. Südlich unterhalb des Berges befindet sich die Station de Jaman einer Zahnradbahn, die von der Transports Montreux–Vevey–Riviera betrieben wird.
Die Form ist untypisch für die voralpine Region, die westliche Wand fällt steil in Richtung des Genfersees ab. Von der Station de Jaman kann der exponierte Gipfel über einen steilen Pfad erreicht werden.
I am not certain, but I believe these birds are Diamond Doves, which are native to Australia. One bird was on the nest, while its mate was in a seemingly protective stance keeping a close eye on the photographer. These birds were photographed early this year at the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, in Key West, Florida.
This amazing tree stands proud and alone under the shadow of the mountains in the Lake District. On its own magnificent but even more beautiful with these surroundings.
No was her name
No was the lion that no one could tame
But Faith was his name
Faith came around with a smile on his face anyway
He said, tell, tell me now
Tell me the worry that knit up your brow
She said slow down this train
Slow down the iron that runs in my veins
I can hear you tap tappin' at my kitchen door
I can hear the river run, and the river want more
Don’t you know, I’m already sure
I can hear you tap tappin at my kitchen door
But No kept her name
No got so quiet she put out her flame
But Faith stayed the same
Faith came around with that smile on his face the next day
He said, follow me down
Follow me down with your pick and your plow
I can hear you tap tappin' at my kitchen door
I can hear the river run and the river want more
Don’t you know, I am already sure
I can hear you standing quiet at my kitchen door.

Still more from the epic session I had in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire back in November. Which I am thankful for as the conditions have not been favourable so far this year. I hope you are not bored of seeing autumn images, it is my favourite time of the year in the woods and this area never fails to put on a show.
