The Ringstone looking well after 5000 years. Picture from 09:40 11Sep24. The time-of-day is important because oblique sunshine picks out the work of human hands to best effect. 2024 was particularly good for the fruiting of rowan = mountain-ash = Sorbus aucuparia so adds a bit of extra colour to the composition.
More than a passing glance? This picture as a jigsaw. https://jigex.com/XC874. I am quite the fan of Jigsaw Explorer. It takes me about 20 minutes to complete a 100 pc [default size - other piece-counts are available] puzzle. Which I justify as giving my spatial awareness neurons a bit of a gallop:lest they waste away, like. When I started, the task might take +30 minutes.
A while back I added this picture to Wikimedia Commons, when they had a drive for pictures of local heritage.
The 09:40 light detail is lovely: low-angle sun revealing the human cuts, with the rowan adding that small flash of colour. Turning the same photo into a 100-piece puzzle sounds like a nice way to make someone look closely at the stone. I was thinking how its silhouette and those red berries might read as tiny pixel art in SpriteFuse, though the original photo deserves a look first. Thanks for linking the Commons image too.
