BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: TRACES OF THE PAST Y3-06

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.

    Fabulous. I must ask the wife if she knows of these stones?

    And talking of the The Stones, 😉

    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/

    Meaning no disrespect but it looks like a cemetery filled with giant tombstones. Great pictures and haunting music, Paula! Happy Sunday to you! 🙂
