On the heathlands around Hilversum you can still find quite a number of prehistoric burial mounds. People of the so-called Hilversum culture lived here more than 3000 years ago. / I find it highly fascinating to think about it how life must have been here so long ago, under the hard conditions of those times. Some artefacts have been found in the mounds, but for the rest we know ever so little about the daily circumstances of these bronze-age people. But their ghosts are still around, especially on an early misty autumn morning. Near Hilversum, 10th October, 7.55 am / Nikon D80, Nikkor 18-200 mm at 80 mm / F 7,1, 1/30, ISO 800

Tyrannosaurus ( meaning ‘tyrant lizard’) is a genus of theropod dinosaur. The famous species Tyrannosaurus rex (‘rex’ meaning ‘king’ in Latin), commonly abbreviated to T. rex, is a fixture in popular culture around the world. It lived throughout what is now western North America, with a much wider range than other tyrannosaurids. Fossils of T. rex are found in a variety of rock formations dating to the last three million years of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 68 to 65 million years ago; it was among the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist prior to the Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event.

I first visited Avebury on a day trip out of London in 2004. I had never heard of the site, but it was included in a tour to Stonehenge and Salisbury. Ironically, it’s a larger stone complex from the same prehistoric age in Britain. When I saw it was also on the Cornwall itinerary there were no complaints. It’s a gorgeous place and this time was in the afternoon sun in Autumn. Compared to a spring morning, quite a difference. The skies were magic…

The clouds and mists were still clinging to the mountainsides, the rain was coming down harder and the light just broke through enough to give the shadows in the stones this ethereal look and feel. Castlerigg Stone Circle sitting above Keswick in Cumbria

The view looking North from the top of Cairnpapple Hill in West Lothian, Scotland. At 310m or just over 1000ft in height the hill offers one of the best viewpoints in central Scotland. In the centre of the shot on the southern banks of the River Forth is the town of Grangemouth (where joak of RB fame resides). Grangemouth would be a pleasant place to live except that the town is dominated by the extremely large Grangemouth Oil Refinery with its numerous gas flares and cooling towers visible across a wide area of the Scottish Lowlands (look on joak’s page for examples). Cairnpapple Hill is situated in the Hilderston Hills within the western range of the Bathgate Hills in the parish of Torphichen, West Lothian, in south-east Scotland. Cairnpapple Hill also contains one of the most significant prehistoric monuments in Scotland (look here).

Australian Estuarine Crocodiles “Salties”.... truly fearsome creatures to me. / I spent 2 years living in Darwin convinced that my Husband would be eaten by one…. he likes to fish from the riverbank…... luckily he saw the sense in not doing this while we lived there. These crocs were in captivity so I was quite safe….. but some people insist on putting themselves in danger with crocs in the wild.

The Ring of Brodgar (or Brogar, or Ring o’ Brodgar) is a Neolithic henge and stone circle in Orkney,Scotland. Most henges don’t contain stone circles; Brodgar is a striking exception, ranking with Stonehenge and Avebury among the greatest of such sites. The ring of stones stands on a small isthmus between the Lochs of Stenness and Harray. These are the northernmost examples of circle henges in Britain. Unlike similar structures such as Avebury, there are no obvious stones inside the circle, but since the interior of the circle has never been excavated by archaeologists, the possibility remains that wooden items, for example, may be present. The site has resisted attempts at scientific dating and the monument’s age remains uncertain. However, it is generally thought to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great Neolithic monuments built on the Ness. A project called The Ring of Brodgar Excavation 2008 was undertaken in the summer of the year in an attempt to settle the age issue and help answer other questions about a site that remains relatively poorly understood. The results of the excavation are still preliminary. / The circle is 104 metres in diameter, and the third largest in the British Isles. The ring originally comprised 60 stones, of which only 27 remained standing at the end of the 20th century. The tallest stones stand at the south and west of the ring. The stones are set within a circular ditch up to 3 metres deep, 9 metres wide and 380 metres in circumference that was carved out of the solid sandstone bedrock by the ancient residents. Technically, this ditch does not constitute a true henge as there is no sign of an encircling bank of earth and rock. However, many archaeologists continue to refer to this structure as a henge; for example, Aubrey Burl classifies the ditch as a Class II henge; one that has two opposing entrances, in this case on the north-west and south-east. Henge monuments are apparently unique to the British Isles and to the 3rd millennium BC. This was downhill from the ring. The entrance are on left and right of the picture.

This is a very familiar sight for me and a much loved one at that. I took this in the early evening as the sun was setting, giving the granite stone this gorgeous glow. This is the view from St. Brelade’s Bay across Ouaine Bay and at the granite cliffs of La Cotte, which derives it’s name from the cave there. This is in Jersey, part of the channel islands. The lovely shaped cliffs in the far distance have historical significance. It is a Paleolithic site of importance, meaning that finds have been made dating from the prehistoric Stone Age. Cotte means “cave” in old Jersey Norman language. That means that evidence has been found of Neanderthal man that once lived here, somewhere around 250,000 years ago. Information on a Wikipedia site about La Cotte states, “The Cambridge University excavations of the 1960s and 1970s found important examples of remains of Pleistocene mammals carried into La Cotte, including a pile of bones and teeth of woolly mammoth and woolly rhinoceros. Prince Charles took part (as a student) in these excavations, directed by Professor C.M.B. McBurney, which were later published. Katharine Scott, in 1980, published an article on the hunting methods used by Neanderthals at La Cotte in which she explains how they stampeded and drove the mammoths off the nearby cliffs.” Now I don’t really subscribe to the Evolutionary theory, but I do accept that the finds are true and substantial. The remains of the animals and tools, as well as remains of individuals who lived at the time goes to detail the inhabitation of the island so long ago.

The day we were there someone had taken all the heritage trust pamphlets, so we did not get as much info as we would have liked. It was probably built between 2500 and 2000 BC. The size of the ring of Brogda (104 metres diameter) is such that the stones seem little until you approach one (up to 4.7 Metres high). At the same time because it is on a slope to the brow of the hill it is almost impossible to get a good view of it all. There are now only 27 remaining stones of the estimated 60 which would have been the perfect circle. My wife took this shot of a tall and shorter stone. You can see the ditch around the circle of stones to the right of these stones.
