[Bonefish Blues]

Was it the gentleman from early C20th with somewhat ahem, cosmipolitan tastes, or am I off beam?

Yes. Let's not go there...

[Bonefish Blues]

So he is Eric Gill IIRC, but I will have to get someone alse put it into the net as I would now be googling the location. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Yes. The Psalm 121 reference isn't just geographic. It's one of the windows.

I think you're close enough, if you want to pick something.

[Bonefish Blues]

I have nothing to hand so shall we let someone else have a go?

I can offer up the below... location clue is in the foreground and is recently topical (ie mainstream news in recent days).

Something a little less lithic...

WOAH!!! I was here literally a week ago. It's on the road between the A465 and Hay on Wye. You did well to get this far, it's 5 miles up a single track lane, unmetalled in places. It's got a welsh name I can't remember, something like Capricorn 1. Chuck a left just before here and there's a monastery. Llantony priory is 5 miles prior.

This is one of my all time fave roads. Occasionally reach the dizzying heights of 30mph, when I pass this bit I know it's a few miles till the road opens out towards hay bluff.

Do this route on one of those days when the sun is shining, the birds are singing and you're in a convertible. Makes you feel alive.

(As for a 'little' less lithic, there's 2 more stone circles in the immediate vicinity )

Yup. The tiny St Mary's Chapel at Capel y Ffin.

It's great road to do in a convertible, because visibility when reversing is so much better
I know there's a (rather sorry looking, IIRC) stone circle by the parking just N of Hay Bluff, But wheres t'other?

Not my photo, but that's the one. You can see the dino print circled by the rocks. But is it the middle Triassic ones, which are the really rare ones?

[eein]

Yes, Staffin on Skye.

[Vaud]

Someone else go, I have nothing to hand.

[NRS]

Here we go then:

[Bonefish Blues]

South America, coastal?

[jmorgan]

Badlands US, or whatever they are called. Montana?

[NRS]

Nope, but it would have been my guess too!

Right continent.

[Bonefish Blues]

Atacama desert perhaps?

[NRS]

Too far north.
