I am not deterred in my admiration by the fact that I have never actually walked amongst them. Your first photo of the roadway leading to the stones on the horizon really struck me. Now I have some notion of the contextual setting.<br /><br />That was reason enough for my gratitude, but then you treated us to even more views of a place with great beauty, and well written words that added to our appreciation.<br /><br />You have been so kind to share your glorious morning. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318018466733912574.post-13182678261254072182014-03-06T22:18:38.073+00:002014-03-06T22:18:38.073+00:00Thank you for the lovely stroll about, I needed it...Thank you for the lovely stroll about, I needed it and it was just beautiful.Tracey ~ Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575854515384481573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318018466733912574.post-89230014089978464142014-03-06T22:12:12.122+00:002014-03-06T22:12:12.122+00:00What a wonderful rambling you have there!
