A step into the past, back to some 6,000 BC among the neolithic stones called Almendres Cromlech (Cromeleque dos Almendres) belonging to the “megalithic universe of Évora”, Portugal.
For further reading about this site click here. If you want to join today’s challenge with the recurrent monthly theme: Traces of the past – post a photo or two of anything that belongs to a past (distant or recent), make it monochrome and publish it before next Sunday.
Please have a look at the traces of the past entries:
I was aware of them when we were up at Evora a few years ago, but it was quite cool and wet the day we passed by. Impressive, aren’t they? Thanks for sharing and the lovely haunting music. 🙂 🙂 Happy Sunday, with hugs, Paula!
That is one stunning gathering of Neolithic megaliths, Paula. And it’s at least the second time your photos have shown up deficiencies in my Prehistory degree course. I don’t remember Portugal being properly mentioned at all. So a double thank you – great photos and a vision of the ancient past that is not in my mental filing cabinet.
Oh, attractive desolation. Wonderful images Paula, and I would never have guessed it was Portugal. A part of the country that I still want to visit – and these views definitely tell me to go there! (And the ghostly music is a perfect match) Have a great Sunday. I’ve gone French this week: https://travelwithintent.com/2017/06/11/fontaine-des-girondins/
They’re magnificent and I’ve never heard of them so thank you. They look like a gathering of women having a chat, the blogging circle of friends 🙂 Here’s my attempt, happy Tuesday! https://lucidgypsy.com/2017/06/12/hope-and-renewal/
always happy to learn something new. I have never heard of this site. love your images, specially the first one.
