What keeps
one stone standing
when others fall?
*
The debris of a second stone
lies strewn around the foot of this one.
*
Together they must have made a pretty pair.
*
Were there once others whose remains
are now no longer to be seen?

From this angle the stone looks
positively ‘gnonomic’,
which may once have been its function.
*
And, or, ‘druidic’
which was definitely not.
*
Although not easy to spot
from these shots, because of the lichen growth,
the monolith is formed of red sand-stone.
*
Little did we know that we were destined to meet
some of its equally tall cousins later in the day…
