#standingStoneSunday #LanyonQuoit #dolmen #cornwall

One of my favourite dolmens even if its not very authentic. It collapsed in a storm in 1815 and was re-erected nine years later, but some of the stones were damaged so it's not how it was originally. I love the local landscape though, and this angle which frames the cornish engine house is perfect. So much so that I once tried to capture it in felt.

Black and white photo of Lanyon Quoit, a dolmen in Cornwall. There are 2 large flat stones in the foreground. The quoit itself is comprised of 3 tall upright stones and a large capstone. Only 2 uprights can be seen from this angle however. On the ridge behind the quoit, and framed between the two uprights, is the tiny but easily recognised and iconic shape of a Cornish engine house. The chimney stack is on the right of the tall rectangular building (where the pumping engine for the mine was housed).
Photo of a small felted artwork depicting Lanyon Quoit standing stones / dolmen and a Cornish Engine house behind it. The colours are muted to try and make the rocks appear more solid: soft clouds in a hazy blue/grey sky, the landscape hinted at in understated greens and grey tones. There are some large flat stones in the foreground. The quoit itself is a tripod of tall upright stones and a large capstone, but only 2 uprights are visible from the angle depicted.

#StandingStoneSunday! A late #neolithic
statue-menhir found at Rottenburg-Lindele, dating 3250-3000 BC. It is considered one of the oldest anthropomorphic stone sculptures from southern Germany and was reused as a cover for a grave in the 8th/7th century BC.

Forgive me, I'm posting a #tree for #StandingStoneSunday but honestly this one had all the gravitas of an ancient megalith 😁
A smiling woman stands beside the monumental trunk of an ancient pollarded tree. Long dead but still standing, its massive, gnarled trunk is swollen with centuries of growth and old wounds, giving it the unmistakable presence of a weathered megalith.

This stone circle is Callanish Stones, a 5,000-year-old prehistoric monument on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebridies in Scotland. It was used for 2,000 years. Patrick Ashmore, who excavated there in the early 1980 says that every 18.6 years, the moon skims especially low. #StandingStoneSunday
