The ancient stone circle at Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in The Outer Hebrides is over 4,000 years old and one of the oldest such structures in the world. Though smaller than Stonehenge it is considerably older and is awe-inspiring to visit. Normally seen in sunshine, here we have a photograph taken beneath an umbrella as a storm passsed overhead giving this magical place an altogether unworldly quality.

Stonehenge, Wiltshire, UK. The prehistoric site dates back to 3100 BC. I drive past it regularly and it never fails to impress.

You have to ask why I titled it magic circle, I don’t think I took one shot of the whole stone circle. Sunset or sunrise is what adds the magic.. if only I could manage to get up early enough to capture the sunrises. The Extract below was taken from Wikipedia… Wilkipedia “The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m (107ft) at its widest and 29.5m (97ft) at its narrowest. The heaviest stone has been estimated to weigh around 16 tons and the tallest stone measures approximately 2.3m high. There is a 3.3m wide gap in its northern edge, which may have been an entrance. Within the circle, abutting its eastern quadrant, is a roughly rectangular setting of a further 10 stones. The circle was probably constructed around 3200 BC (Late Neolithic/Early Bronze-Age), making it one of the earliest stone circles in Britain and possibly Europe, too. It is important to archaeoastronomers who have noted that the sunrise during the Autumn equinox appears over the top of Threlkeld Knott, a hill 3.5km to the east. Some stones in the circle have been aligned with the midwinter sunrise and various lunar positions.” MY OLD STANDING STONES SET

Ok.. it’s only part of the stone circle.. to be quite honest I’m pleased to have this photo. For me it seemed to be one of those days, nothing seemed right photowise. It was another enjoyable meet with Robert Hardy, I’m guessing and hoping his shots turned out better than mine :-) The Extract below was taken from Wikipedia… Wilkipedia “The stones are of a local metamorphic slate, set in a flattened circle, measuring 32.6m (107ft) at its widest and 29.5m (97ft) at its narrowest.

A beautiful late spring sunset over the Ring of Brogar, Orkney Islands. A magnificent stone circle of neolithic era over 100 metres in diameter. Amazing. Inspiring. Haunting. World Heritage Site.

.......my favourite place in the whole of Derbyshire UK (not so much the stones but the whole moor and its dark valleys of natural stone and birch) this circle seems to have lost its power but still looks dang good in the sunset diffused by the birches.

Please vote for this, my entry in the London Calling challenge! / ‘Revolution’ fills the guidelines set in the competition, which say Your valuable votes should go to those designs that stir thoughts of the great metropolis, from d-face strewn alleyways to rebellious ‘70s musicians. London has always been about cultural revolution; in the pre-victorian age, it was at the forefront of society, then was a main part of the industrial revolution, before in modern times becomming the battleground for the musical revolution – starting in the ‘50s through the ‘60s ‘70s and ‘80s, and still going strong today. London has been a hub for rebellious teenagers, beginning their revolution in Britain’s capital, from the graffiti around the walls to the rebellious beginnings of rock and punk music. At all times in history, london has been about revolution. The Demo store which the winning t-shirts will be displayed in showcases work of this style, creating their own revolution of streetware! Please vote for my t-shirt in the London Calling competition. / /

Pastel on prepared board. From the “Into the Mystic” series, inspired by Ireland and the music of Van Morrison. Drombeg Stone Circle, Co. Cork, Beara Peninsula, Ireland. Beside the garden walls, / We walk in haunts of ancient peace. / At night we rest and go to sleep / In haunts of ancient peace. / The love and light we seek, / The words we do not need to speak, / Here in this wondrous way we keep / These haunts of ancient peace. / Let us go there again / When we need some relief / Oh, when I can’t find my feet / When I need rest and sleep. / The Sunday bells they chime / Around the countryside and towns / A song of harmony and rhyme / In haunts of ancient peace. / The holy grail we seek / On down by haunts of ancient peace. / We see the new Jerusalem / In haunts of ancient peace. / Oh, when I can’t find my feet / Oh, when I need some relief / One more time again. / You know I want to go there one more time again. / Be still in haunts of ancient peace. Van Morrison
