Out of all the standing stones I've visited in recent years, this is one I keep thinking about, for its beauty, elegance and setting.
At Bedd Arthur in the Mynydd Preseli / mountains, looking eastwards towards Frenni Fawr and Foel Drygarn.

The Hole Stone (or Crow Stone) in Galloway. Local tradition says that it was used during marriage ceremomies, by joining hands through the hole. It stands close to the White Cairn and another stone reputedly once accompanied it.

On dark, windy nights like these, standing on the beach below the ruins of Kirkmaiden Church, as the waves lash the shore, you swear you can hear the wraith bell tolling from the depths of Luce Bay, calling another McCulloch to their fate.

The Carlin Stone, near Elrig in Galloway. Carlin can mean an old woman, winter goddess or witch. Also the last remaining sheaf of corn cut at harvest and made into an effergy.

Aquatint etching. This was the last etching I did a few months ago. I *love* the possiblities and gradations of tones and shades of aquatint.
I am not so keen on the whole chemical aspect of acid and oil-based inks and white spirit etc though.
Anyway, #FoxFriday#FossilFriday
