Post a CommentIt is fascinating to think about the rituals that might have been carried out there.
Great pics. As for the apple in the hole, maybe someone was just trying to draw a deer for photos.
Neat stuff. I'd love to see that, some day.
I wondered about the dancing stones as well. Beautiful pics., Tony.
Is there a reason why they're called the dancing stones? Looks like an old cemetery. ;)
