See videos for more.... 2. stonetracker: I had to look up that site, pretty interesting. No doubt its location on a military base has reduced the amount of vandalism I've seen at other more accessible sites. ... 3. stonetracker: Good one !... 4. TheCaptain: It does look rather too regular and perfectly circular... 5. erniebernie: All my photos of Mt. Gavrilos require an update. The present town of Perissa is located on the site of the Greek port-town of Eleusis which flourished between 400 and 200 BCE. The port is now under wa... 6. dooclay: This is the Tor and not the Tor Cairn... 7. Bladup: This photo is of this site - www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=56879... 8. Bladup: This photo is of this site - www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=56879... 9. SAS_JP: Circle looks like Horus eye observed by Egyptians at Danderah temple. (Horus =M31 = Andromeda galaxy). I have discovered a traversable wormhole M31-M32. See: ... 10. AngieLake: Ha!ha!! It's an 'L' of a name...! (Image just popped into my mind... wearing your tent as a cape?)... 11. Horatio: I like that, almost like a superhero's name...lol... 12. AngieLake: We shall have to call you the 'Lonesome Lingerer'! ;-)... 13. Horatio: Thanks both 8-) I prefer this one (pic) to my sunset photo I think. I just love that pink in the sky with the dark heavy cumulus clouds building in the distance. ... 14. Horatio: ah thanks, the actual sunset like the sunrise itself didn't amount to much, it was after the sun had gone below the horizon that it really lit up those clouds a bit like it was the following morning f... 15. Bladup: That's a lovely image... 16. bodhran: We've all heard someone say The Stones speak. Well, there's something to this observance. My wife and I have been with the Carnasserie Stones at least three, possibly four (memory being what it is at ... 17. AngieLake: Wow! Just 'Wow'....... 18. AngieLake: I like the way the stones frame the little trilithon, which I guess is the signpost (looking at the previous photo!) What an experience. ... 19. AngieLake: That's so gorgeous Horatio, and you've captured the illusion of the capstone floating on its uprights.... 20. Bladup: Totally Gorgeous... 21. Bladup: Shunning and a very clear/sharp Pleiades you have there... 22. Bladup: Beautiful... 23. Richard13: Thank you - very pleased you liked the photo!... 24. Richard13: Thank you! Really happy you like the photo. I felt that it gave a good impression of the form and atmosphere of the cairn... 25. Horatio: Thanks Paul mate and thank you for Angie for the heads up and the information (Llanddwyn Island) hopefully I'll be able to do this (it's on my radar now) Keep well both x... 26. bodhran: The other standing stone "up on one hill" that you mention is not a true standing stone. Two years ago my wife and I investigated by climbing the hill up behind the Carnasserie Stones. There is a rock... 27. AngieLake: Wow! This is stunning. Well done.... 28. AngieLake: Hi Horatio. If you have enough time on Anglesey, try to walk to the end of Llanddwyn Island. Good weather needed. Park near beach going down through Newborough Forest, and walk along beach with stu... 29. Bladup: That's one hell of an image, It's amazing what phones can do nowadays esp when used by someone with an 'eye for it' as you clearly have (and well done for been up and there for that lovely sunrise)... 30. Horatio: Thank you Angie, I hope you're well my friend? Yes 2nd time I've bivi'd here within three weeks and this one was really special, really spiritual and great grounding experience and connection. Loads ... 31. Horatio: Cheers Paul, at least steady hands from not shivering amazingly warm this night... 32. Bladup: Fantastic, You've got steady hands from all that drumming!... 33. Bladup: It's a pleasure, Happy you like them... 34. PERKYPUFFIN: The round top of this outlying stone is significant. I call these sky stones as one is meant to observe the whole sky or the moon probably from a position of Callanaish 8 half circle on the other sid... 35. DavidHoyle: Yes, the circle has been destroyed. Stone holes were recorded reasonably accurately from what i understand. A real shame what happened but most sites in the area seem to have been similarly destroyed.... 36. AngieLake: Lovely Ken. In 2001 I had it all to myself at midnight. It's a magical feeling.... 37. AngieLake: How wonderful, what a fabulous experience. Brilliant photo! ... 38. AngieLake: Wow! Were you interrupted by other visitors, or did you manage to get the site to yourself? Sounds idyllic.... 39. Andy B: Yes definitely thanks very much Paul for adding these, really interesting and attractive.... 40. Bladup: Thanks, It's a pleasure, I thought they'd make a good companion to our photo's of the sites or be an image on a sitepage if there isn't one on there already... 41. WildPilgrim: Great to see these Lidar images, thank you.... 42. Bladup: Thank You drolaf... 43. Bladup: Cheers... 44. Bladup: Cheers, This one is a messed about with photo, Some are messed about with artworks of mine, I like how certain effects work with certain photo's/artworks but not at all with others, I certainly enjoye... 45. SpaceTravellor: IMO the stone row must have an astronomical alignment purpose but it requires directional informations of the setting.... 46. drolaf: your art is stunning... 47. drolaf: another wow. is this AI made? ... 48. drolaf: wow... 49. Andy B: Thanks for these photos DrO. What did you make of the cairn?... 50. Houdorf: Yes, unfortunately, there are Jackasses everywhere........ 51. dave_kay93: Alas quite a common occurrence. The Forestry Commision to their credit take great care (nowadays at least) to avoid such planting, but they have very little control over what goes on in private woodla... 52. Andy B: Hello AGP, welcome and thanks for the photos. Please can you just submit the actual photo rather than a screenshot of your screen. If you could resubmit just the photos I will delete these. Thanks... 53. Bladup: Looking at the Lidar image the site looks more like a henge than a fort, With an outside bank and a ditch on the inside of the bank (A fort should have the ditch on the outside) with an inner central ... 54. Stoneage: Looks like a UFO to the left of the picture? ... 55. Bladup: From the hut at the bottom there's two other huts at 11 o'clock and 2 o'clock... 56. Andy B: Lovely photos, first for this site, always very much appreciated. Front page!... 57. TheCaptain: I'll see what I can find... 58. AngieLake: Well done Martyn. It's not that easy. (I was going to say, Let's have a gallery of pics of members crawling through the hole, but it's only you and me on the site page! I had shorts on that day and... 59. TheCaptain: Looks a splendid and cared for place... 60. TheCaptain: I am hopeful ... 61. Bladup: These old family photo's of yours are lovely and what's more really fantastic photos, The way this photo captures your grandmother, The greenery and the mount as it does is stunning, There's no doubt ... 62. Bladup: You beat me to it, I was going to say that, I'm surprised you haven't found one with a member of your family climbing though the holed stone like your Mên-an-Tol one the other day!... 63. TheCaptain: Seeing through these old photos, which go back a hundred and more years to the early 1920's, there is no doubt at all as to where I get many of my traits from !!!... 64. Bladup: Brilliant... 65. Bladup: What wonderful serendipity... 66. Bladup: What a fantastic photo!... 67. Bladup: Fantastic photo and it looks like they haven't changed the horrible barbed wire fence since then!!! ... 68. johnstone: OK, I made the page... 69. peulven: Wellcome Andy. This polissoir is also shown on T4 T85 : The city is called La Gacilly, Redon area, in the Morbihan département (56) Position given : N47.765 W2.14012. I trust you'll fi... 70. Bladup: Briliant photo :o)... 71. Andy B: Thanks very much Peulven, please can you let us know the location for a site page. ... 72. Andy B: When Gerald and Margaret Ponting (later Curtis) moved to the Isle of Lewis in the 1970s, their fascination with the Callanish Stones sparked a decade of discovery. Their fieldwork led to the re-identi... 73. Andy B: A major new publication, Archaeological Adventures in the Outer Hebrides by Gerald Ponting, will be launched in Stornoway Town Hall at 7pm on Thursday 4 September. It offers a vivid and richly illustr... 74. Autun: I was surprised no signage, as the site directly next to a mountain road, unlike all the others in the area. I am sure there are more to see if you poke about here...... 75. Megalithic89: Of course this is a cup mark. Beautiful. ... 76. Martin_L: Has there been a forest fire in the past years? ... 77. peulven: I am flabbergasted ! First I thought there was a mistake or confusion in the name and place, but after closely checking the photos and description, I have to face the nightmarish truth : the whole nic... 78. TheCaptain: Ooops, silly mistake. But both of you are doing great. 2450 is a magnificent number. I never really counted how many I visited in France, but I have them all in a spreadsheet. Think it was about 1100 ... 79. johnstone: This is the work of Peulven, my French connection. My visits will this year go up to 2450!... 80. TheCaptain: Doing a great job Jan. ANy idea how many megalithic sites you have visited now ?... 81. Martin_L: Great! Thanks for this most instructive view. ... 82. Martin_L: Very nice menhir indeed. Guess it is hard to visit as being situated on a private estate, so it is great you made the effort. ... 83. Martin_L: That indeed seems hard to decide. There are photos of the site when it was almost free from vegetation on the t4t35 Mégalithes Du Monde pages. Trying to judge from the photos only i personally tend t... 84. TheCaptain: Ha! You say nice quality, I am amazed how well it came out. I made this picture by holding the old slide above a piece of white paper and taking the photo with my phone! If only there was a quick and ... 85. Andy B: I don't think this site has ever been on our front page so let's fix that with your amazingly crisp photo - thanks!... 86. Andy B: Lovely - I've made that the top photo for our RofB page. Thanks!... 87. Andy B: Amazing! I see what you mean looking at the main site page. Nice quality too.... 88. Andy B: 450BCE rather than AD ???... 89. Bladup: Thanks Angie, Your photo's are always good, I like your photo the link takes you to, The colours are lovely and i totally agree with your theory/imagery of the sites use... 90. AngieLake: Your Trencom pics are lovely, and make mine from 2006 look even more gross. If anyone had the patience to look at them, there were a lot of rock basins and unusual shapes on top of those rock piles, ... 91. Treensbert: Perfectly captured!... 92. Bladup: A lovely photo of a lovely site... 93. Bladup: Cheers drolaf... 94. drolaf: just lovely ... 95. karolus: Book is scanned and available to see in full on Internet Archive: archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.17249/pag... 96. Bladup: The Megalithic Barrel!!! ha ha, It could be an offshoot, I'd have put a good few bits on there over the years to be honest ;0)... 97. Bladup: Cheers Lee, Even after 15 years i'm still seeing new things here, I must have walked though/by this hut site a 100 times without noticing it, It's amazing what a bit of a clearance can reveal - ... 98. Horatio: Love this place, great series on Trencrom mate ... 99. Andy B: > It looks like you're beginning to scape the barrel now. Ooh - harsh - we love our obscure bits of old wall :-)... 100. Martin_L: Thank you Martyn, i actually like the angle you took your photo from much better as it includes the cliff. Due to the new fencing that point sadly is not reachable anymore. I absolutely understand me... |
