Oldies this morning time... A stained glass window from Tintagel taken sometime last century and a rock in County Cork, Ireland (Ciorcal Cloch an Droma Bhig), also from last century. As a Welshman I feel St. George should get in the sea and let the dragons be!

Stained glass window from St. Materiana's Church, Tintagel. It has three panels, with the left panel depicting Cornwall Coat of Arms (15 gold coins) with an angel reading a scroll below. The right hand panel has an unknown ( to me) crest with a crossed key and sword, with an angel below reading a scroll. The centre panel features St. George in armour holding a lance with his Pennon flying (red cross on white background). He is stood over a dragon, and the bottom of the panel contains another crest flanked by a horse and a deer (possibly).
A black and white image of one of the two portal stones that form the Ciorcal Cloch an Droma Bhig (Dromberg Stone Circle). The sun is shining and the stones are casting a shadow, left to right. The stone is largely rectangular but the top has been shaped into a scalene triangle with left hand side being steeper and shorter than the right. The natural weathered face of the stone looks almost tree like in B&W with the light and contrast.

My #StandingStoneSunday has got a hole in it.

Men-An-Tol from many moons ago.

#StandingStone

Men-An-Tol standing stones. The main one has a hole in it. Like a very big polo stuck in the ground.

It's not only #SilentSunday, but #StandingStoneSunday, too! Happy to oblige. This is part of the #Teufelsmauer ("Devil's Wall") in the #Harz mountains, made of hard sandstones.

We went there for a #hike a week ago.

Carreg y Big near Llynau Cregennan, between Cader Idris and the Afon Mawddach for today's #StandingStoneSunday

This area is rich with stones, cairns and hillforts, as well as being an incredibly beautiful landscape.

This visit March 2012. Portrait, may need a click.

A tall and tapering grey-green standing stone, leaning slightly to the right. It resembles a cowled figure. The stone stands in a rugged landscape of rocky hills, with a lake beyond. The day is overcast and cloudy.

Revisiting the memorial stone of the ‘last woman burned as a witch’ in Scotland in film and archival photos. (‘Janet Horne’ probably never existed but her myth persists because there were so many like her whose lives and deaths went unrecorded.)#AshesAndStones #ScottishWitches #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #FolkHorror #FeministHorror #WomenInHorror #SheWill #JanetHorne #ModernAntiquarian #Witch

An antique photograph in grainy black and white of a rural location. A well dressed family of a woman and three children, two boys and a girl all stand in back of a weathered stone in the ground, a small boulder which is now called the 'Janet Horne' memorial stone. Legend has it this spot represents the location where the 'last witch' was killed in Scotland. A long stone building and piles of lumber are in the background.

memory, femicide, and the useful dead 🪶

revisiting the Janet Horne Memorial Stone on the full moon 🌝 Last month I watched She Will, an impressionistic, feminist horror film about Scottish witches set in the Highlands.

My first #StandingStoneSunday post for Mastodon. This is Trevorgans #StandingStone near St Buryan in West Penwith, #Cornwall.

Seen here framed by the hills of Chapel Carn Brea (topped with #Neolithic and #BronzeAge cairns) and Bartinné (topped with a prehistoric enclosure with three conjoined circular enclosures inside).

This visit November 2008.

Standing stone of granite, leaning slightly to the left. Two dark hills form the skyline backdrop. Sunshine illuminates the stone.

The Géant standing stone (#menhir) at Saint-Goustan, Auray, Morbihan, Brittany. Part of the Carnac group of #neolithic sites. Magical place.

A mostly black and white image of a large standing stone in woodland. The stone itself is glowing yellow as though lit by low sun.

For #ThrowbackThursday a scan of a snap taken at Avebury of its famous prehistoric stone circle. This would have been taken on a visit to the village and nearby Stonehenge likely during the first year I was dating my now-wife; so, 1996. We used to visit regularly in the 1990s and early 2000s to pick sloes and make sloe gin each year.

Scan of a colour photograph. It's an overcast day and we're standing on a large circular grassy area, off to one side, with trees and buildings seemingly curving around the exterior in the distance. A few chalky paths cut across the short grass. Prominently in front of us are two huge standing stones, both almost square in shape, both with a slight slope down to the left on their upper faces, both a few metres across and from top to bottom. In the gap between the stones we can see more further across the grassy area forming a stone circle. There's a sense of deep time here.
