It really is a special place... 5. Andy B: Hello Willem, you are welcome.... 6. mk16jheh: Thank you Andy B! I have used this information. www.hunebednieuwscafe.nl/2020/09/pehlitz/... 7. Horatio: Great photo of the best stone circle in Cornwall... 8. Redfish: I loved this place but preferred Knowth for authenticity ... 9. Andy B: Thanks for the up to date photo Dave, welcome. Those trees should never have been allowed to grow. I wish I'd reported them 28 years ago. (I can't believe it's that long ago.) Whether anything could h... 10. Andy B: Interesting - good find!... 11. Silbergrau: I walked the entire "wall". From the grave to the menhir. At no point does it have the characteristics of a wall. There are individual stones that mark the path from the grave to the menhir in ... 12. Andy B: Thanks to you Vanbear for sharing. You only need to upload one copy into the 'Art' category and it still shows on the Ring of Brodgar page as well - I've fixed that.... 13. dave_kay93: I see the previous photos had been taken quite a few years ago, the trees have just grown!... 14. Marielizhall: Thank you :) it was a beautiful evening up there... 15. TheCaptain: Fabulous light... 16. CoppellaiaMatta: Thank you for the encouragement!!! Holding it, it certainly felt purpose-made.

If so, an important detail. Thank you for sharing !... 18. davidmorgan: I think that tourist group are Korean Christians doing the Seven Churches of Revelations tour.... 19.

CarlDav: This location is not where the map has it but further south on the Bosberg. Gretchen's wheel is where the three are situated for the maps location. ... 23. Bladup: I do get that they're probably a bit garish for most folks, I'm just trying to put a bit of colour in this increasingly grey and drab world, Hopefully the people of a more colourful future will like t... 24. Andy B: Let me know which is your favourite artwork from Bladup / Paul and I'll feature it on our front page. This one seems a strong contender.... 25. Bladup: Thanks Martyn... 26. TheCaptain: Initial space removed, all looking OK now... 27. TAlanJones: 😀... 28. Andy B: This unsuspecting chunk of rock collected at Stonehenge in 1924 is the centre of a controversy. Or maybe not.

Bladup: The class of 97 (Or the Hale-Bopp comet lot!) It was a very special year indeed. It's always lovely to hear something about your life Angie and it's really interesting how folks coming from totally di... 34. AngieLake: That's lovely. Weirdly, I also got into dowsing and stone circles, etc., in 1997. Do you think there was an intervention from the universe, or something (grins)?! I sometimes went up to Dartmoor an... 35. AngieLake: Ha!ha!!, that's me, Mummy Lake, and grandma Lake! Lol!!... 36. rogerkread: This is NOT the holy well. See other photo and comments.... 37. Bladup: I love it, It's strange in all the right ways, As in it doesn't reallly make sense but it's clearly a representation of Mên-an-Tol, So it works on that level really well, It's also very aesthetic. I ... 38. Bladup: Cheers Angie, That's lovely of you to say so, I spent my childhood drawing birds, So the art came first, The stonehunting physically started with coming down here to Cornwall (from Lincoln back then) ... 39. AngieLake: Wow Paul! Which came first, your artwork, or the passion of stone hunting? You could do a book of these and some of your excellent photos.... 40. AngieLake: Reminds me of Dali. Very striking.... 41. Bladup: Thanks Andy, It's a pleasure... 42. markj99: Thanks, but I can't take all the credit: nature did most of the work.... 43.

Horatio: lovely photo, the weather looks great, much better when I visited a few years back ... 50. davidmorgan: That's quite a jigsaw puzzle.

Horatio: Yeh, I don't recommend having ANYTHING to do with electric fences or wires ... 58. Bladup: It wasn't very nice at all Angie but Lee getting the volts into his head must have been worse (he did his own EST), What made mine so bad was that i was frozen there and couldn't move a muscle and the... 59. AngieLake: Wow! That must have been an amazing experience.... 60. AngieLake: OMG Paul, that sounds horrendous! You're lucky you're still here!! ... 61.

We wished we'd taken the drone when we went today! :) ... 68. Horatio: so correct Angie... 69. Horatio: haha thanks Cap'n and Angie, for some reason it brings back bad memories of my last near fatality of getting 40,000 volts through the back of my skull taking the photo of the standing stone in Wales a... 70. AngieLake: Lovely pic.... 71. AngieLake: That's a brilliant story to entertain your friends for years to come! As regards the ears not fitting Chun Quoit, I'm sure they're not that bad, but another name for you, ending in 'o', might be appr... 72. AngieLake: You're lucky then! But I can't imagine anyone not wanting to see the sites, and listen to the drumming. On the other hand, I preferred to be alone at sites if possible. More chance to 'tune in', an... 73. prinlu: This is not Ta' Marziena. It looks like it's Borġ in-Nadur... 74. TheCaptain: Thanks - I have done that now... 75. TheCaptain: Nice story!... 76. Horatio: Another thing that happened yesterday also was last night I decided to finish off my holiday drumming where I started it and that was at Tregeseal East stone circle. Any way, as I was drumming and as... 77. Horatio: Paul update for you mate :-) I went back up to Chun after I'd read your comments and more to reassure myself, I did manage to squeeze into the chamber and have photos of me drumming in there, taken b... 78. Horatio: Ah yes, I should've mentioned that, cheers Andy ... 79. Horatio: Hi Angie, sadly I didn't go to Creeg Tol, I'm very aware of how long I've left Mrs Horatio in the car reading her kindle (and if I've pushed it too far) whilst I'm either exploring, drumming, taking ... 80. Megalithic89: Hello, I would much appreciate if you updated the coordinates, they are accuracy "5" and I took them from the Swiss Inventory of Stone Monuments. I wrote the coordinates as a comment on the site page.... 81. Andy B: Hello, thanks for the great photos. We only have a '3' for the location for this site, suggesting the location we have may not be accurate. Did you find our location was accurate or can you improve it... 82. AngieLake: PS: Did you visit Creeg Tol while you were here, Horatio? I wondered how overgrown or clear it is these days? Be interested in your feelings while down at the little circle. Scared me. ... 83. Andy B: What a lovely stone, good find. The lichen and weathering indicates it is pretty old but I agree it can't be prehistoric (or could it?) Anyway welcome back Foxhallfool!... 84. Andy B: I didn't know about this one - good find Lee. I have clarified for new visitors that the row of holes along the bottom is not rock art, that's presumably where someone tried to break the apart stone i... 85.

AngieLake: The hobby that's the gift that keeps on giving!... 88. Horatio: Flipin' eck nothing like looking after our heritage!... 89. Bladup: Nothing of this size Angie, An example of the average size of a Scilly chambered cairn would be to look at the entrance grave that's at the bottom of the cairn in the image with it's back end been rou... 90. Bladup: The original stoned roads though the middle of Penzance were build with stones taken from this fort, Before that happened this must have been a monster of a site with high banks/walls... 91. Horatio: Hi Angie, mostly to myself, a few people came and went, and a couple of people sat close to me whilst I was drumming (after I took this pic on my phone) and sketched the quoit, they requested I carrie... 92.

Bladup: Ha ha, That's right, As i was writing it i was thinking that i probably couldn't get in there now myself for the same reason, The last few times i was there it was really wet inside so didn't go in, I... 100. Horatio: You know, next time I'm there I'm going to see if I can squeeze in with my drum, if you don't hear anything then it's because I've gone 'off radar' with embarrassment .... (too fat)... |
