Unfortunately the farmer who had the rights to the land grew tired of mowing around them and brought in equipment and had a few stones flattened. Local outrage ensued and UNESCO stepped in. It’s now, rightfully, a protected site. Your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You drag yourself through a paddock and ho-hum. A few stones. You haven’t travelled much? Stenness stones are in The Orkneys. The rich cultural and archeological history of these sites is so fascinating. You need a modicum of cerebral material, of course, in order to appreciate their significance in our evolution. In order to know where we’re going, we need to understand where we’ve been. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 3 #15061 Share Posted June 3 I think a lot of landmarks and natural wonders can be viewed either as something interesting or something boring depending on your view, interest and mood. I remember an American saying 'Uluru was just a big rock in the middle of nowhere' and I said ' yeah, just like the Grand Canyon is a big hole and the Pyramids are a pile of blocks'. He didn't know how to take that. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 3 #15066 Share Posted June 3 The blue grotto, Capri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jean C Posted June 3 #15067 Share Posted June 3 1 hour ago, MicCanberra said: The blue grotto, Capri. Yep, sure is. I had a broken collarbone and my arm in a sling at the time. To get into the grotto you went from a larger tourist boat, climbing down a ladder on the side, into the rowboats, all done by me with one arm. The entrance is tiny so we had to lean back horizontally and remove our sunglasses, to avoid scratches, to get in there. The colours are stunning and were something to do with a phenomenon of a deep underwater opening that let the light in from underneath. Your turn 😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
