The Vestrahorne Mountains are a popular destination in Iceland and one I never tire of visiting, such a photogenic location.
The Macro Mondays group’s theme for 6/7 is board game pieces. I chose the strategy game mancala which one source said could have been invented as long ago as 7000 years in Egypt. It consists of a board, today usually made of wood, that has cups carved in. Stones which were probably originally actually stones are placed in each cup and the players move them around the board, trying not to lose their turn. Since the stones have long since disappeared, these are replacement ones for our game.

A look at the civil war era Hyde's Millhouse from afar. The owner has set old, used millstones in the ground along the fence line. The finial shows wear, but not like the stones.

The paddocks for a horse stud in Hochsolling, where horses were bred as early as the 18th century, are enclosed by roughly 10 kilometers long stone walls, some of which are up to two meters high. The listed walls are said to date from the 18th and 19th centuries. They served as a replacement for pasture fences. Unfortunately, they are already damaged in some places. Old oaks stand along the quarry stone wall, giving the whole landscape an English charm.
