For #StandingStoneSunday, remembering a wonderfully atmospheric visit to the incomparable Castlerigg stone circle recently. The wisps of cloud in the valley added to the mystique.

Part of a stone circle curving from right foreground to left centre. The stones are mostly upright with a few lying down. They are in a grassy setting with mountains and clouds in the distance. Some of the clouds are dipping into a valley just above left of centre.

It’s #StandingStoneSunday and I’m standing in front of the #MenhirDuChampDolent outside #DolDeBretagne in #Brittany #Breizh. A bit of a trek from the train station and I didn’t expect to walk along an uneven wet grassy field but I made it!😁

Cover of Harry Ludlam's 'Ghosts Among Us' features a photo of a sinister nun with (I think) vacent eye sockets and a massive cross around her neck.
