#Menhirs #Cornwall #Sancreed #StandingStoneSunday

One of a pair of prehistoric standing stones or menhirs known as 'The Sisters', standing a short distance away from it's companion, within a field of short grass beneath a beautiful blue sky with many clouds. The stone is shaped a bit like an inverted canine tooth, The hedge-line curves gently upwards to the right in the middle distance. Behind the hedge, on the left, can just be seen the edge of the fields and moors beyond.

The Wheal Buller Menhir near Newbridge in West Penwith, Cornwall, photographed on 29 May 2006.

Colour photo of the ivy-clad 3.35m or 11ft tall menhir on the B3318 by Wheal Buller Farm between Newbridge and Pendeen in West Cornwall. The huge stone was found in the hedge during road widening and was re-erected in about 1980, though it's not totally certain that the stone is prehistoric. It looks the part, nevertheless. The stone sits in the hedge at the side of the road, replete with a lush overabundance of vegetation with white and pink flowers and the moors below and distant fields can be seen in the distance, beneath a blue summer sky full of low rolling clouds.

The north-easternmost of the two menhirs known as The Pipers, situate close to the Merry Maidens stone circle at Boleigh in Cornwall. Photo taken from the south on 1st February 2003.

#Menhirs #StoneRows #Megaliths #Drizzlecombe #Dartmoor #Devon #StandingStoneSunday

Colour photograph of the 2.3m tall menhir, at a slight lean, at the end of a prehistoric stone row at Drizzlecombe on Dartmoor. It was a very sunny day with a beautiful blue sky, though the photo shows much cloud to the north-east. The moors are a beautiful patchwork of grass and other short plants in hues of yellow, mustard and various greens, and with clumps of pinky-purple plants to the lower right. The moors in the distance are darker, gently curved and torless. It looks as though there is another menhir in the distance on the left.

#Treverven #Menhirs #Megaliths #Cornwall #StandingStones #StandingStoneSunday

A colour photograph of Treverven Menhir near St Buryan in West Penwith, Cornwall. At just under 2m tall it's not the most impressive looking stone, but does have an interesting shape, with a large hollow on the side nearest the camera. The field it sits in is large and full of short grass. The hedge and a line of short trees can be seen in the middle distance. The sky is blue and cloudless.

The sky is pale blue and cloudless.

#Kerris #Penwith #Cornwall #Kernow #Menhirs #Megaliths #StandingStoneSunday

A colour photo of the Kerris Menhir in Cornwall, a relatively small, but wide and thick, triangular prehistoric standing stone standing in a field full of leafy crops beneath a gorgeous blue sky full of white fluffy clouds. A hedge lies across the centre of the photo in the middle distance. A thin sliver of fields and low hills in the distance can just be seen above this hedge, with the tower of Sancreed Church just to the left of the menhir. It lies close to the Kerris Roundago, a reputed Iron Age fort, and a couple of ancient Cornish crosses. A large multiple lens flare is to the bottom right.

#GrandMenhirBrise #Menhirs #Locmariaquer #Morbihan #Breizh #CartesPostalesAnciennes #Postcards #StandingStoneSunday

A printed vintage postcard of the Grand Menhir Brisé at Locmariaquer in Brittany. The menhir is, or was, about 23 metres or 75 feet in length and weighs approximately 350 tons. It fell at an unknown date and lies broken into four pieces. It is reputed to be the largest menhir in the world. A young girl in traditional Breton costume stands in front of the closest piece. The town can be seen in the distance. The stone sits within a large complex of prehistoric monuments: the Er Grah tumulus and La Table des Marchands are very close by, and Gavrinis is fairly close, and it may possibly have originally been one of 19 menhirs forming a stone row, the holes for which can still be seen.
