Winter Solstice vibes to all, tomorrow the light starts its return. #solstice #Callanish #wintersolstice
The surviving stones of the Callanish II Stone Circle. Dating to late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, the circle is located near the main Callanish Stones on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish #Prehistory #Lewis

July. Summer on the island
muffles in scarves.
Merino-socked, Berghaus-booted,
swap cocoon of car
for hilly slither. Pilgrim-trail
with sodden strangers,
step in time to the cadence of rain…

The Callanish IV Stone Circle (also known as Ceann Hulavig) on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The circle is part of the megalithic landscape surrounding the main Callanish Stones - two miles to the southeast of this site. 📸 My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish
