Memory Of The Land
Lanyon Quoit is a dolmen from prehistoric times. Likely it was a grave, but it’s definite that it had some ritual significance to the people who built it.
Built by peoples long gone but hardly forgotten. We still marvel at these standing stones today.
It’s significantly altered from its original form. It was knocked down by a storm and rebuilt by locals in the early 1800’s. It’s much shorter than its previous form and is one leg short of the four it originally had.

Excellent B&W Mark.
I will have to go to Lanyon Quoit some day.
Its not far from me.
Mark Tisdale replied
Thank you!
It’s well worth a visit in my opinion. I’d have loved to have gotten to choose my day to visit. I think I did well with what I had, but I’m sure a relative local can trump my atmosphere!

Hey Mark. This is fabulous work. Love the moody sky . It really suits the subject matter.

It’s funny, I had seen photos of this and knew we’d be seeing it on the trip. The weather was just how I imagined it in my head when I thought of how I wanted to frame this one. But the photos I’d seen of it were bright blue skies, so who would have known! Thanks!

So many times I’ve been here and taken photos of it but didn’t know it originally had four supporting stones, it makes you wonder how they moved those massive stones when it was built.
The low viewpoint works well and a great heavy sky to heighten the mood, wonderful in monochrome, well done Mark,
Regards, Rod.
