The Angel's well situated - on a hillside, above Newcastle and Gateshead. It's lost in mist at the moment. Opinions are fiercely and equally divided over it as a monument. My actual reaction to it was to build something on the same scale.

Photography is an acceptable form of hunting - surely. More actual cruelty is found in factory farming systems - I'd suggest. There's certainly a massive disjunction between country and town.

But what about Bronze Age monuments that 'are in denial' ? It's as though the local historical paradigm has to reform somehow. How does that happen ? They must be real or 4Ws would have told me to pull them. Why can't the archaeologists - 11 miles away - see them ?

Well, I`d suggest that cruelty should be stamped out - wherever it is found - wouldn`t you?

Only in the eyes of countryfolk when town-dwellers question their barbaric ways.
You don`t here that argument in India, where they have more respect for other sentient beings.

Ooh! Please don't use me as a test of genuiness :-) From the photos alone I do think some of your posts leave a lot to the imagination - but that's the nature of photos. Context is everything as they say.

You spend your life at these places and so know them better than most, certainly than me, in their context.

My only concern is that some of them don't state that they are not 'official' sites if you see what I mean.
