‘Callanish Stones, Isle of Lewis’, 2009, by Kate Ferris
Prehistoric stones are at once familiar and alien. Some are more familiar than others: the Nine Maidens in my native Cornwall or the megalithic dolmens where I live in France. The most alien I have ever seen were at Carnac in Brittany. But I have never been to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, which is where the Callanish Stones were put in place about 40-50 centuries ago. Kate Ferris makes me suspect I would immediately find these both familiar and alien. Kate doesn’t have her own website, but she is on Flickr (as The Tamed Shrew), and sometimes (as Catriona) on AP forums.
