Ring carvings, Achnabreck, Kilmartin, Argyll, Scotland.
Achnabreck features three generously carved areas of rock, making it the most extensive group of prehistoric rock carvings in Scotland.
Kilmartin Glen itself is rich in ancient monuments, standing stones and stone circles. Find out more here.
This image has been somewhat “manipulated” from the original photo, to enhance the markings.
And so we stand at the still-point, ready to circle around another year.
Perhaps these enigmatic rings remind us of our personal orbits, moving around – what? All the patterns and habits we create.
“We travellers on the endless wastes, in single orbits gliding”
– The Clasp, by Jethro Tull.
Lets make different patterns – be the stone thrown into a pond and see what ripples we can all make this year! We are not isolated unless we choose to be – it is up to us all to reach out and “be the change we want to see” in the community and wider world.
With my Love and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year
