Standing Stone !

Standing Stone !
A burst of sun through the morning cloud catches the Kintraw Standing Stone with its adjacent trees and adds a golden glow to the numerous Gorse bushes,,,,,,,, Large view if possible please

Stopping at a conveniently positioned lay-by and a short walk down hill to grab a couple of shots between the traffic.

The Pip has been previously posted, but it gives a larger view of the stone.

Standing at the head of Loch Craignure the stone is part of a complex that includes three burial cairns, It is a slender monolith that stands 13 feet (3.9m) high and is 3'6" wide. the stone is thought to have been erected around 1800 BC.

Finally some relaxing music while you view, Solitude, Joan Chamorro www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ppw5ckhGo

Maria Lovasz, Smiley Derleth, Erhard Bernstein, Nouchetdu38 and 56 other people have particularly liked this photo

Gorgeous images and really beautiful colours here dRoger. A risky business taking photos here with one eye on the traffic!! Interesting information. I did get a couple of shots from here but I am afraid the sheeps' bums took the focus away from the standing stone and cairn!!!!

HFF and have a good weekend

 Keith Burton
Keith Burton club
Superbly composed Roger..............and I like the vibrant green and brown colours in the landscape (and the cows). The standing stone and the cairns sound interesting...........and I'm guessing that when the stone was put there, it would have been a very quiet and probably spiritual place (and definitely without that road)!

The distant hills make a magnificent background. A delightful shot sir!

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Keith Burton club
Lovely comments Keith thank you, Originally it had more stones four from memory, and it must have been a chosen place because of the cairns while the road was probably just a pathway on the hillside!
