Cromeleque de Portela de Mogos, Evora, Portugal. Photos (and #MorningAltar) my own.

I recommend this one over the more famous Cromeleque de Almendras. It’s hidden in the trees and very magical.

Find it on the Portugal Megalitico map: maps.app.goo.gl/mRV7shw1gRZz...

Bronze age cist (bone box) and stone row at Tre Heslog today, near #Rhayader, mid-Wales. And a weird horses hoof we found nearby! Mist-erious hilltop today.

A friend bought me this hand carved wood block for Christmas and I tried printing with it today and added some collage leaves

For #StandingStoneSunday, some stones I visited in Machynlleth, where I live, this week. 1. Maen Llwyd: a Neolithic/Bronze Age standing stone, now strangely situated in a cul-de-sac of bungalows on a housing estate. 2. On hill above, a modern stone circle, erected for an Eisteddfod here in the 80s?
A neolithic or bronze age standing stone on some paving slabs on a small patch of green with a bench next to it. Behind it are white bungalows and parked cars. A late afternoon shot of a modern stone circle in the sunshine with long shadows. A late afternoon shot of a modern stone circle in the sunshine with long shadows and hills in background. A long view of a modern stone circle in golden sunshine with long hills in background.

Here is my perennial wheel of the year, which I spend most of last weekend making, complete with moveable moons. Watercolour and collage.

#Art #WheelOfTheYear #Imbolc #WomenArtists
A home-made wheel of the year made from concentric circles of card with watercolour images of vegetables in the relevant growing seasons. Also has names of celtic festivals, months, star signs and full and new moons on á watercolour grey, blue, pink and white background.

For #TombTuesday, the best diorama I ever did see, at the Castro Laboreiro museum in #Geres, Northern Portugal
A diorama of neolithic people constructing a stone tomb using sticks and ropes to lever the stones into place. Beneath the stones is gravel. In the back ground we see a museum.
