We arrived at The Stones on our first day and the weather really help set the mood for the shot.....
had to work last night and managed to photograph the stone curlews as a family group and was pleased to see that they had another successful year with raising another chick in the late evening sun

THUNDER-STONE, the name of the granite monolith, that serves as a pedestal to the equestrian statue of Emperor Peter the Great (see Bronze Horseman). It was discovered in 1768 in the forest near Konnaya Lakhta village by a local, S.G. Vishnyakov, (it was named the Thunder-stone because according to legend thunder split a piece of it). Sculptor E. Falconet intended to work it on the spot, but Empress Catherine II ordered to deliver it to St. Petersburg in its original shape. On 1 April 1769, the land transportation of the thunder-stone (weighing 1.6 thousand tonnes) started. To transport it by sea a special ship, Korchebnikov's vessel, was constructed. On 26 September 1770, the thunder-stone was mounted on Senate Square. To commemorate this event at Empress Catherine II's behest a bronze medal with the legend "Close to Daring” was issued.

One thing that stood out to me in our recent trip to the peak district was the stone walls, literally miles upon miles of handbuilt stone walls seperating the grided network of ancient farm perimeters. I seem to remember once hearing that the stones used are called chips and potatoes, the large stones being the potatoes and the small the chips. Not sure if this is 'actually' correct, just a vague childhood memory, which I proudly annouced as a definate fact. I think the dogs believed me at least...

A orillas del Río Odiel, muy cerquita de Sotiel Coronada, imposible resistirse a una sesión de texturas.
The partly submerged stepping stones across the River Derwent near Hathersage. A no from me on this walk!
This is in Lacey-Keosaqua State Park where we spent a pleasant afternoon yesterday walking the wooded trails. This is the second oldest state park in Iowa and in the 1930's the Civilian Conservation Corps built a number of stone structures here including this bridge.
Had a little star trip down Southerndown beach again the other day, not the right conditions for the Milkyway but somebody left some stone stacks for me to take pictures of instead.
It was so cold though don't think I could feel my hands for a good 15 minutes after, I think I need to invest in some decent gloves haha.
Two photo's stitched together.. they weren't planned to be stitched together but with the help of Photoshop auto fill in it seemed to work :-)
Found in an overgrown quarry near home.
Our lockdown for South Island still working, at least till 3 om when we all get updated. Our vaccination and contact checking have gone into high gear fueled by disaster in Sydney.

If anyone knows the name of the artist / if you are the artist, please inform me. my assessment: made in about 1963
Tried making a pencil pastel style drawing in Photoshop with a photo of my good mate Richard skimming a stone in Wainuiomata. Lots more learning to be done. I lost the original file so this is a scan of a print because you know I like to keep things simple. And sarcasm, I quite enjoy a dash of that too.
