Thank you very much Doug. There is something about standing stones that really fascinates me and I liked the shapes of these stones and the way they face out over the water. HFF and have a lovely weekend

Wow, that's really impressive, Carol, and so is the music. A great pairing. I really like the performance.

A very HFF to you and I hope your September gets off to a good start this next week. :)

Oh, congratulations, Carol! That's wonderful.

Now you can sleep in and do all sorts of fun things. :)

Thank you very much Karen. I am so looking forward to it and to not having any structure to my week! Most of all I look forward to spending more time with my husband...but sleeping in sounds like bliss!

It's funny how sleep can become such a pleasure.

Enjoy! :)

Thank you Karen. Sorry for the late response - I was just practising!

Ha ha, Carol! :D

Waouh... vraiment beau..
merci pour ce partage
bonne fin de semaine Carole

Many thanks Roland. I am pleased you liked it. Have a lovely weekend.

Wonderful, surrounded by nature instead of carparks and hordes with selfiesticks:-) HFF, Carol, enjoy your weekend!

Many thanks Gudrun. No car parks, no crowds and definitely no selfie sticks! Just one other person arriving as we were leaving so we had the whole magnificent view and wonderful stones to ourselves! My kind of holiday - selfish I know!! HFF and have a lovely weekend

Such an impressive and fascinating image ,Carol!
I've always loved and been charmed by these menhirs or, anyway, old stones !
HFF to you and enjoy your weekend !

Thank you very much Bea. They are fascinating aren't they? I like the sense of mystery that comes with their age and the fact that no-one really knows their exact purpose. The shape and positioning of these stones make it seem as if they are looking out over the water. HFF and I hope you have a wonderful weekend

Very well composed landscape image Carol.
HFF and a nice weekend.

Thank you very much Jaap. Really appreciated. HFF and have a lovely weekend

A superb picture and link Carol. It looks an interesting place.
HFF and I wish you a good weekend.

Thank you very much Rosa, - yes it is fascinating. There are a number of larger sets of standing stones on the island but I really liked the shapes of these. HFF and have a great weekend

Hi Carol

I really like this picture. While perhaps not as famous as the Callanaish stones, it is interesting to see little pieces of history like this!

www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44116730

Great 'rule of three' composition too!

Best Wishes, HFF (in the background!) and a good weekend
Peter

Many thanks Peter. Really appreciated. Yes it is much smaller and less well known than the Callanaish stones, but their positioning on the cliff is very unusual as is the fact that it is not actually a stone circle as such. The site is listed as Callanish 8 or'Cleitir'. I liked the way the stones look out over the water like stone guardians and also, being less famous, he site was not full of people. We took photos of the Callanaish stones but it was hard to get a clear shot without people. Love the mood of your image. Thanks for adding. Have a good week Peter

Great shot Carol!! Impressive!!
HFF and have a nice weekend!

Bet wishes
Füsun

Many thanks Fusun. Really appreciated. Belated HFF. Have a good week

A late HFF to you Carol, excuse-me.
Could not let this picture go unnoticed.
Enjoy a great weekend.

Thank you very much Jose. Really appreciated. Have a good week

Never heard before, the song fits perfect. I like! :-)

Thank you very much. Really appreciated. In truth I had not heard it before either I was searching for music to suit the picture and came across it, and liked it very much. I am pleased you did too. Have a good week

Thus, pictures can also become an enriching and joyful musical journey of discovery. :-)

Beau regard!!

(:o))
Yes, very impressive !
The whole photograph is superb, Carol ! *****

Ah, these are the stones Obelix has always collected! ;-)
Very impressive and interesting!
