Log Text: Wedding Rock (not Rocks) Petroglyph Site is located on Ozette Beach on the first rocky headland south of Cape Alava in Olympic National Park in the far northwestern corner of the State of Washington in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. The site is superb as is its striking setting on the coast. There are more than 40 petroglyphs to be found at Wedding Rock, although not all are easily located. They are found on the large and small boulders forming a semi-circle around the base of the cliffs. Made by the inhabitants of Ozette Village at Cape Alava, one mile north of Wedding Rock. Most have been determined to be 300 to 500 years old, although some are of more recent origins, such as the petroglyph of a sailing ship from around 1800. They cover a wide variety of subjects.

Chun Quoit

Visited: Yes on 13th May 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 3
Chun Quoit submitted by sem on 16th Jun 2005. The capstone and the horizon.
There is a theory that dolmens (or quoits as they are known in Cornwall) were not totally covered in earth but the capstones were left uncovered and were a copy of the horizon. I have manipulated the tones in this shot to show this, but no shapes have been altered.

Mulfra Quoit
Date Added: 7th Nov 2011
Site Type: Portal Tomb
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Mulfra Quoit submitted by JimChampion on 31st Dec 2004. August 2004. Taken looking west at sunset. We only just made it to the quoit before the sun set, but were rewarded with spectacular ambience. Running up the bracken-covered hillside from the Try Vally, the quoit was hidden from view until we got very close to it. A lot of anticipation, capped by a pleasant surprise. Its not obvious where to park for access from the Try Valley, there is a shallow lay-by at SW454356.

Boskednan A submitted by AngieLake on 15th Oct 2004. This view of the 'destroyed barrow'/cairn near Carn Galva, shows its alignment with Ding Dong mine on the horizon. Boskednan circle is on slightly lower ground not far from here, and on an alignment between the 'barrow'/cairn and the
mine building. The flat sides of the pointed stones face north/south. (This pic was taken at 4pm in March 2004).
The stones sit on a higher ridge at 227m.

Chun Castle submitted by JimChampion on 13th May 2005. August 2004. Looking east from the hill fort, with the ruined stone walls (a more recent addition to the defences) in the foreground. Between here and the hill in the distance are several popular megalithic sites such as Lanyon Quoit, the Men-an-Tol and the Nine Maidens stone circle.

Boskednan stone circle
Date Added: 8th Dec 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 13th May 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Boskednan stone circle submitted by JimChampion on 22nd Aug 2005. The portal stones illuminated by the last rays of the setting sun. The tallest one (on the left) has a diagonal groove present on this and the opposite side. The holes that the restored stones were raised from have been covered with pegged down foliage, presumably to encourage regrowth on the bare earth.

Boscawen Un submitted by AngieLake on 6th Nov 2005. I should really keep this a secret! - the best time to visit Boscawen Un, on a quiet evening in May when bluebells are still carpeting the circle. Something to hang on to while we endure the bleak days of winter. (Don't tell anyone.......!)

Carn Euny Village submitted by AngieLake on 31st Oct 2004. This view over the Carn Euny Settlement was taken in two shots, which are cobbled together to give an idea of how it looked in March 2004. Bec-Zog's pic is similar to this.

Visited: Yes on 14th May 2011. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Carn Euny Fogou submitted by AngieLake on 2nd Jan 2005. This shot shows the huge but low (4.5ft - 1.4m) SE-facing doorway of the Carn Euny 'Beehive Hut' underground chamber, with its own short passage leading into the fogou passage which runs SW/NE, (but snaking here with a flatter, more W/E run), just outside the doorway. It is thought that the Beehive Hut (chamber) was the first structure on this site, so that originally the eastern wall of the fogou passage would not have obstructed the view. It is possible that the sun was meant to shine down t...

Trevorgans Cross submitted by enkidu41 on 16th Nov 2004. This cross is not sympathetically placed having regard to the nearness of the A30 but, of course, the road would have been considerably narrower a 100 years ago.

A large triangular stone whose influence on the cauliflower crop seems to have been malign!
