Day 60 - Kirkwall.

The standing stones of Stennes.
Here's a nice tapestry Margaret.

    Love those standing stones, but what a bleak landscape, grim sky, everything is just so so .... dour, isn´t it? You are both well wrapped up. Must be cool too.

    it's a beautiful tapestry. Is it in the museum? What else was in there and did you manage to get to the archive place?

    Older than Stonehenge!! Crikey. They look sinister lined up like that - keeping their lonely vigil.
    Must be a bit eerie walking there at night.

    Brilliant photo of the standing stones. Lonely vigil is the perfect description, Madeleine. If you look closely, there is someone on the horizon silhouetted against the sky and it looks like another standing stone in the distance. Was that intentional, Steve?
    Pity about the car hire rates. Extortionate. What about bicycle hire? (hee hee)
