The outlier of the Nine Stones in the #PeakDistrict. It stands between the main circle, on their shallow mound, and Robin Hood's Stride, an oddly shaped outcrop that may have inspired the building of the circle. (Scanned from a photo I took in 2002.) #StandingStoneSunday #stonecircles #Derbyshire

Oops… I’m only two days late for #StandingStoneSunday Apologies, we were putting up the Christmas tree and didn’t notice the time. Here’s a shot from my early November visit to sunny #Avebury in #Wiltshire. Human figure shows the height of that standing stone. A beautiful visit on a beautiful day. And after our walk around, Lorne, old school friend, and I had a lovely Sunday roast in the Red Lion pub in the village. Best book ahead if you fancy lunch there. #neolithic #stonecircles

Very tall standing stone at Avebury. Sunny blue sky.

The Hopi believe it's the 4th world/age. Is the moon backing away? The murals of Egypt suggest fixing it is in our hands, or the creator will restart things. #Moon #Earth #Hopis #Egypt #Creator #Stonehenge #StoneCircles

Trying out the new-to-me press with my Avebury Cove block. I’ve been really impressed with how quickly I’ve been able to get satisfying results from day one. Very exciting times ahead

The second-best preserved of the circles that form part of the Druid Stones complex above Penmaenmawr, #Gwynedd. It's amazing to think the east-west track that runs between them across the tops of the hills may date back to the Neolithic. #StandingStoneSunday #stonecircles #NorthWales
