One of the fascinating aspects of our British landscape are the megalithic remains dotted all over the countryside. Of course we're not alone in this - France, Malta, the Channel Islands, Africa, and others all have past civilisations who recorded their culture permanently in stone. There are those for whom the stones represent a rational insight into astronomy, measurement and priestly/political ritual. Others believe they are something altogether more magical, possessing qualities whose true nature can only be intuitively recognised. Stone is a mineral and many of them contain high proportions of quartz, which when placed under pressure, gives off an electrical charge. This in itself is not unusual - the piezo-electric qualities of the mineral have been used for watches, gas lighters and a host of other technological applications. Some research (The Dragon Project) has shown that quartz-rich standing stones may well be affected by the gravitational effects of the Moon, and other planets when they come into powerful alignments. May 2000 will be just such a time, and it would be intriguing to research the effects of this on some of our stone circles. Here is a small gallery of some megalithic pix.

Two galleries here. One is the Megaliths Gallery, the second is the British Legendary Landscape gallery.
They're more pictorially biassed than megalithically technical. For a deeper insight into alignments, astro-archeaology and those for whom trekking across sphagnum mossy moorlands in search of elusive standing stones is a way of life, do follow the WEBRING link below .
Encouraged by some WebRing members, I'm including a page with some megalithic cartoons, dreamed up at odd periods of inactivity. Click this to see them.
