Gate in a field with designs depicting the raising of standing stones.
#StandingStoneSunday I'm in #Lewis #Leรฒdhas and it's littered with megaliths, both standing and 'resting'. How to choose? So here's a nice gate I saw at #Callanish #Calanais interpreting the raising of the stones.

A large group of historic standing stones bathed in late sunlight. A rainbow arcs behind the stones across the black sky. The 5,000 year old Neolithic stone complex, older than Stonehenge, features a 13 stone circle with a central monolith. A cross shaped arrangement of stone rows extends outwards. Made from local Lewisian gneiss.
Happy New Year #Bluesky A huge thank you to followers for your support. It means a lot. ๐
May all your storm clouds end in rainbows.
I've visited the #Callanish Stones on #Lewis many times, but never bettered these conditions a few years ago.

๐ Happy #Autumn #Equinox, when day & night stand in balance. #Romans marked the vindemia & honoured Autumnus. Prehistoric Britons aligned monuments like Stonehenge & #Callanish to the sun. Today pagans celebrate Mabon or Alban Elfed. ๐

Remains of the small chambered cairn within the stone circle at Callanish on Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The cairn dates to around 2500 BC and is younger than the circle, avenue, and stone rows which date to 2900 BC. ๐ธ My own. #TombTuesday #Prehistory #Callanish #Archaeology
The surviving stones of the Callanish II Stone Circle. Dating to late Neolithic and early Bronze Age, the circle is located near the main Callanish Stones on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. ๐ธ My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish #Prehistory #Lewis

#Callanish stones, #Lewis, 40 minutes ago:
The main Callanish Standing Stones (Callanish I) on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The stones were erected some 5000 years ago and form part of a wonderful megalithic landscape, with several other stone circles nearby. ๐ธ My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish

The sorry impact of heritage tourism in the Western Isles. The loss of Georgian-era #Callanish Farm/Inn, to make way for a large visitors' centre serving the standing stones.
Photos 2016 (present and correct), 2024 (undermined but still standing) and 2025 (gone).

The Callanish IV Stone Circle on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
The Callanish IV Stone Circle (also known as Ceann Hulavig) on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. The circle is part of the megalithic landscape surrounding the main Callanish Stones - two miles to the southeast of this site. ๐ธ My own. #StandingStoneSunday #Callanish
Thing about going away is you get to come home.
