At 7.5m tall, the Menir da Meada is the tallest menhir in all of Iberia. And it's been dated to 5,000BC, possibly the oldest one dated.

Mucking about, kenmare and back home over the caha pass. Glorious soul food.

The Duirinish Stone was NOT erected thousands of years ago. Set in a concrete base, it stands approximately 5m high and was erected by hand. That is to say it was pulled up the hill and set in place by human power. See the ALT for more information…

A little bit of a mystery for #StandingStoneSunday

We had a sunny visit to see John Bell's Stone in the grounds of Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire today. A tall standing stone said to be erected as a memorial in 1617. But is that just when the top was added to a prehistoric standing stone? Balgorkar stone circle is just 650m away and this stone really would not be out of place as a flanker there.

Morning folks, to celebrate losing an hour of my #StandingStoneSunday, here's Standard Street or Great Oak Road standing stone, near the lovely town of Crickhowell in South Wales. Standing over 6 feet tall, it's marked by the OS as a boundary stone but must surely be Bronze Age.

This visit April 2012.

Clip Studio, 2019. This was a composition from my imagination, utilising some textural brushes for the background foliage. I like the concept of brush splats for areas where you just need an impression of some leaves - something I had been trying to recreate in digital for a while before this painting.
