Calanais Standing Stones by sarah19

Calanais Standing Stones

However long or short the visit to Breasclete it's difficult to come away without a stop off at the next village - Callanish - and these awesome structures with their history.
This time the day was damp and grey and the light - or lack of it - makes such a difference. But this time I noticed things I'd not noticed before, textures and landmarks in the distance. And it was quiet............even though a handful of other people were also there before 10.00am!

Lovely! Standing stones are always interestng, and hold so much history... and speculation.

We have lovely memories of the standing stones at Callanish - we went there on our honeymoon 41 years ago! Your pictures look full of atmosphere despite the damp weather.

@busylady Wow that is really interesting. We never visited them as children - my cousins didn't think they were any big deal as they had always been there!!! Now there is a lovely visitors centre .....close by but out of sight of the stones themselves. They are a VERY big attraction now!

Another great collage Sarah! It tells the story of your visit but also shows how intriguing these stones are. If they could only talk!

We have enjoyed visiting these stones, great that you can walk around them again to photograph them from different angles.
