Looking down can produce some interesting captures! The shading of the stones and cropping just off the vertical gives a good result..the geometrical collection looks good. i like it ,Marian

I was intrested to find out what this was I did a bit of research and remember seeing something like this on Velentica island in Kerry Ireland Unfortunatly I cant find a picture. Maybe I can post on myself! An extract from irelandbyways.com "Two Alzamuth Stones, one an original used by a U.S. Coast Survey expedition in 1862, the other a replica incorporated into a striking monument in Knightstown, recall the mid- C19th importance of establishing precise lines of longitude in the Atlantic, finally achieved in 1866, when American scientists built a temporary observatory immediately adjacent to the Foilhommerum Cable Station in order to use new transatlantic telegraph to facilitate synchronized longitude observations between North America, Valentia and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. In fact only two Alzamuth readings were taken, one in Knightstown and the other in the Ural Mountains in Russia."

How interesting! Where did you see this? I love the cobblestones and the way the light and colors play so subtly. This is great work!

Seems like 'Big Brother'...watching every step we take! Love the old cobblestones, which I have only seen in Europe - not here in OZ, well preserved in your photo now, Marian. BB
