Hello Swanvesta,

Thank you very much for some really helpful and, in one case, quite astonishing information. I did not know about the Bradley/Edmonds book so am particularly grateful for that and will check it out when possible. Ditto the text/image mismatch - bad news, but thanks for it; I thought we had sorted out that kind of problem, but clearly not.

Your link is the first time I have seen those pictures from Steve Gray. Blimey! I had not worked out particular correspondences like that, it was a more general feeling that the circle stones on the one hand and the distant peaks and slopes on the other were complementary. Steve certainly did some good work there: it's really quite breathtaking. Thanks again.

Have you seen this article by the late Harry Bell
http://www.geocities.com/leylinequest/leylines_terrain_echoes.htm
where he points out that the correspondence between the stones and the surrounding hills is actually best viewed from one position - a ploughed out ring cairn in one corner of the circle.

I have to confess to having been part of the experiment he refers to on the article. Convinced me!
