Leaving the ‘Ghoul Stone’ was not easy…

But there were other delights to be sampled.

***
The literature associated with the site
makes much of the contrast between
the red sandstone giants
and the white boulder circles.

***
Out in the field this did not really register
but once back in the study
perusing the photographs
the contrast becomes quite startling.
*
It inevitably brings to mind thoughts
of Long Meg and her Daughters,
a large stone circle and much earlier outlier,
in Cumbria, where something similar was obviously afoot.

But what, then, of the blue stones?

***
If we were doing colours,
then our next stop looked promising!
