So what is it with Standing Stones? Obviously my interest in the first picture is a professional one - lots of lichen! And this lichen is adhering to an upright rock, flanked by two others. These have been in place quite a while - they have a purpose, too, in that they demarcate the corner of a driveway. But in the last year or so, all over Eldorado tall stones have been appearing - and continue to appear - that serve no discernible function, and so - one might guess, are presumed to be ornamental. But why? We have a Scottish friend up the road, and she clearly regards their in the spirit of a dolmen. But why the general growing profusion. Do people think - oh, there's an upright stone at No. 109, say - and therefore want one too? That might hold water as a hypothesis for people who want, say, to have a tin raven on top of their mailbox, but generally, it's a bit baffling.
