Stoned in Britain

I was sitting here at the computer waiting for something to download and picked up a piece of slate that sits on the desk. I brought it back from our trip to Scotland several years ago. It made me think of all the different stones we had seen across the British Isles on our travels. Well known stones, in the above picture, on a windswept plain in Wiltshire.

Humble cobblestones on a back street in London.

Serviceable stone walls in Penpont (home of Andy Goldsworthy), Dumfriesshire, Scotland.



And a very famous stone in the British Museum.
