Stone Lands

'That moment of sighting stones for the first time, seeing them standing upright as they've stood for several thousand years, never fails to thrill me. There's a moment of recognition - ah yes, I know you! - as if the form of a standing stone is hardwired into my psyche and I feel immediate connection with each of its individual manifestations. The stones always seem so alive, on the verge of movement, and I can understand all those legends of people turned to stone because that's exactly what they look like when you catch your first glimpse of them across the moor or over a hedge - they look human.'
