The stones have been tomb, cattle shelter, childhood dare and ley-hunter nexus. They have been and continue to be anchor for folklore and mystery. To reduce our telling of them to one thing reduces them and the power of the Long Neolithic. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

A bubble coral shrimp (Hamopontonia physogrya).
This species is very small, typically less than 1 cm long. It is often found in bubble corals. The shrimp helps clean the corals of parasites and debris, while being provided with shelter in return.

A Scottish one as it's St Andrew's Day: Baliscate stone row above Tobermory on Mull. There's a path of oyster shells leading up to the field of the stones – very nice. #StandingStoneSunday

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2

A glimmer of light in the darkness. This morning at sunrise, the light peeped through as the clouds darkened and the rain fell. Photograph taken on Glastonbury Tor looking out over the Somerset levels. Another cold start to the day.
