My Walk in the Woods • part 5 • Sentinel

Finally I see the legendary sacred stone set upon a massive ashlar platform high above the surrounding ravines..

This is a continuation my hike at the corner of the three Connecticut towns of Redding, Newtown & Bethel.

Hmmm... two sacred stones left atop this natural alter by the last glacier. The pyramidal stone receiving shadow from a tree aligned perfectly to the south.. as this is exactly mid-day.

Pulling back a bit from these Sentinels of Time.. we can see some of the exposed bedrock of this huge geologic structure.
