The spring haven't arrived yet to Finland. No blooming to be seen so i haven't been very active with photography lately. This LE shot is from last summer. Sadly my Canon 50D's noise control even with 400 iso is crappy and i have hard time to create pleasing results with it. Even with photoshop i cant seem to fix the problems often. I now days mainly just stick to 50d+sigma 50mm f.1.4 combo, which i love. Take care!

The Callanish Stones are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle.
They were erected in the late Neolithic era, and were a focus for ritual activity during the Bronze Age. They are near the village of Callanish on the west coast of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland (source: Wikipedia).

My absence lasted a little longer than expected. Back from vacation, unexpected work on the garden turned out to be possible again....stones from the driveway removed and replaced with gravel for the parking space and borders for new plants.
Hope that now finally a quiet time will come. Happy start of your week ;-))
I really like visiting this place and I've been here a few times over the years. I took the drone to get a better (higher) perspective. As you can see it was one of those lovely sunny Winter days after a hard frost the night before. I also made a short video clip which came out pretty nice.
There are actually 4 circles within a few hundred metres of each other but this is the nicest in my opinion. Apparently Oscar Wilde's father (Sir William Robert Wills Wilde FRCSI (March 1815 – 19 April 1876) lived nearby here for 13 years. He had a strong interest in archeology and folklore and was also fascinated by the circles. I wonder was this one his favorite too?

The Hurlers stone circles are a group of 3 stone circles on Bodmin `Moor, Cornwall.
The name "Hurlers" derives from a legend, in which men were playing Cornish hurling on a Sunday and were magically transformed into stones as punishment.
"Selenite is an ancient crystal and one of the most powerful for new energy. Its name has its origins in Greek mythology, where the Goddess Selene is associated with the white Moon, a symbol of perfection, purity and benevolence. Many call it: Mirror of the Virgin".

What to do while waiting for the tide to drop and the sun to set, make a stone sculpture. This one was quite rushed as the sun was setting quickly, but that made it more fun. Made of stone is by The Stone Roses, and seems right. One day , when I've got the time , I'll have to make a really big one .
At a versatile request of a single lady now exclusively the blooming stone rose. The photo of its bud I posted on monday. Ok ... I would have posted it anyway.
