Throwback to a visit to Orkney a couple of years ago, and lichen growing on the standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar.

Part of the Ring of Brodgar stone circle, superbly located between the Loch of Stenness and the Loch of Harray on Orkney's West Mainland. When erected, over 4,000 years ago, 60 stones stood here: now there are 36. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/westmainland/ringofbrodgar/index.html

We found this A/P etching by Dennis Ward in a vintage place in Leith today. Titled ‘Confrontation at Brodgar, Orkney’, it has a brooding light-and-darkness quality reminiscent of many of Orkney’s landscapes.

It turns out Ward was latterly Professor Emeritus of Russian Studies at Edinburgh University, and in fact the first Professor of Russian there, and was chair of Edinburgh Printmakers in the late 1990s.

@Broadfork @mark_ohe
Yes, pretty much. Those in the second pic aren't at Stenness, though, but the Ring of Brodgar, less than a mile up the road from Stenness. That part of Orkney Mainland was very busy in Neolithic times, and there's an amazing collection of remains.
Here are those stones in May this year from a different angle.

the Neolithic standing
stones witnessed
our kiss & the wind
intoned its approval
to this small
human act of
communion
one of many
over millennia

The Ring of Brodgar in #Orkney ten years ago. I waited for the crowd (of 2 people) to leave before I approached the stones. #RingOfBrodgar #StandingStoneSunday
