"Northern Lights Over Callanish" By Angie Livingstone (The Glittering Fox)

Introduction

The Calanais Stones (or "Calanais I": Scottish Gaelic: Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais) are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle, located on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland

This is another stone circle that Angie has painted and is as interesting and impressive as he previous paintings.

This is my thirty-eighth piece inspired by Angie's work, and I am grateful that she has allowed me to do this. This is a sonnet.

This is her work on Etsy

The music is "Northern Sky" by Nick Drake

To See The Aurora Borealis

Lighting Up The Callanish Standing Stones
