The Standing Stones of Stenness is part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney, a group of Neolithic monuments on the Mainland of the Orkney Islands, Scotland.  This composition shows three of the four remaining stones of what is believed to have been a circle of up to twelve. This “henge” site may be the oldest in the British Isles dating back to 3100 BC.  A henge refers to a circular or oval-shaped earthworks or bank with an internal ditch surrounding a flat area of 66ft (20 m) in diameter often with ritual structures of timber or stone circles and coves.

Youghiogheny River in Monochrome

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Mobile Photography, Photography

Two weeks ago, friends and I rode half of the 150 mile Great Allegheny Passage Trail, part of the Rails to Trails movement which creates multi-use public paths from abandoned railroad corridors. We started our ride in a small trail town called Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania where Ohiopyle State Park is located. “Passing through the heart of the park, the rushing waters of the Youghiogheny [yawki-gay-nee] River Gorge are the centerpiece for Ohiopyle. The “Yough” [yawk] provides some of the best whitewater boating in the eastern United States, as well as spectacular scenery”.

I’m currently spending time on the Oregon Coast and taking time to explore the beautiful scenery of the area. This image is just one example of what visitors can see as they travel the coastal highway.
