Stonehenge, England, UK – Perfect Alignment
In southwest England, Stonehenge is perhaps the world’s most famous stone circle. How the massive bluestones which make up the circle came to this part of England is still a mystery.

Orkney, Scotland, UK – Standing Stones of Stenness. On the summer solstice, the stones align with the rising and setting sun.
The Standing Stones of Stenness date back to the Neolithic period when they were erected by the people who lived in Orkney, the far north of Scotland. The stone henge, possibly the oldest in Britain, has survived through the centuries and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Eternal/Dissolve. Been working on this one since Labor Day. Standing Stones of Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. Nine Copenhagen blues, four apple greens, and a little bit of a lot of other shades. #Scotland #orkney #standingstonesofstenness #inkdrawing #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #femaleartist (at Standing Stones of Stenness) https://www.instagram.com/p/Box5kTWgiDQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=105ntcd5lr935
