They’re the not so famous stones of Grim. I brought them up here from Georgia when I moved here and erected them on this land. They’re from where I grew up.
Should your travels bring you out to the Columbia River gorge, there is a full size replica of Stonehenge on the northern shore by Maryhill. It was built by Sam Hill as a WW1 monument to the dead of Klickitat county. A fascinating person, among other endeavors, he donated war relief aid in Romania after the war, and the Maryhill museum has a lovely display of furniture and art pieces given to him in thanks by Princess Marie. https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/outside/stonehenge-memorial
As a note- the furniture is something I have never seen the like of, Gothic revival would be as good as any description, it is all heavily carved in a fantasy Celtic or viking style, and completely gold leafed. Looks like it could have come straight out of some grand hall in LOTR.-
Are those the famous Standing Stones of Grimwald?
ReplyDeleteThey’re the not so famous stones of Grim. I brought them up here from Georgia when I moved here and erected them on this land. They’re from where I grew up.
ReplyDeleteI love that. Did you erect it all at once by calculation and geometry, or did you erect each marker stone by observation on the date of the occurance?
ReplyDeleteI did in fact erect them by calculation and geometry, using a compass to align them with the cardinal directions.
