Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 29 7:57 am)
Absolutely, Hauksdottir! We have a standing stone area not far from where I live. The ring and spiral symbols were very prominent there. Almost as if they were part of te burial ceremony (stupid thing to say!! OF course they were!!). It's called NewGrange (some UK or Irish members might know what I'm on about!). NewGrange has a hill formation, anfd I went there while still in High School to take stone rubbings for a project. The whole area was just one great atmosphere of tranquility, the locals were so friendly, and the local rangers were very helpful/informative. I wish more of ythe Irish natives were that friendly!! :o) - Hairy
The symbols on the Altar stone are rough copies of: The passage at Newgrange. The Stone Circle at Cauldside Burn, Scotland. The Tree of Life stone (Snowden Moor), Swastika stone and Panorama stone (Ilkley Moor), standing stone(Baildon Moor), all in Yorkshire, England. Still trying to arrange posting but the problem is the size of the files. Even if I rigged up a temporary Homepage, which would take me eons, my server wouldn't host such large files. Chris
Hairybiker, could do that, the base packs down to 1.5 meg. and the stones are small individually. But .....the main texture map is almost 6 megs. as a JPG. Any smaller and resolution close up would be useless. I'm trying local business contacts to see if anyone can squeeze it in but no luck so far. If someone in the UK could host it, I could send it on cd. Chris
We will cross our fingers, hoping. That is a monumental (pun intended) piece of work, and you seem to have a waiting list of anticipatory artists. I'm familiar with NewGrange, and several other sites, but only from photographs. Someday I'll get to travel. Chrisjol, if you send me a snail mail address, I'll try to send you a couple of art prints in return for this. hauksdottir@earthlink.net Thanks, Carolly
Looks like a nice day today. I'll take my motorbike up to NewGrange this afternoon if I get a chance and take a few photos of the place. Might be nice for peeps to see just how awesome the place is, and what it is about the place that inspired ya, Chris... :o) Hauksdottir - YEAH! Come see the sights (and sites)! It's a beautiful country apart from the occasional restless native. :o)
Chambered cairns? I'd like to visit Maes Howe, Avebury, The Isle of Lewis, Rosaringe... and peek at the submerged rings (I'm blanking on their names, 2 of them in a bay on the north coast of France which inspired Debussy's Engulfed Cathedral). Everybody else can fight the crowds in the museums, when I travel to Europe it will be with a nice sturdy pair of walking shoes and a camera! Restless natives? Making those running shoes. Carolly
