I started traveling across the USA when I was 13, my parents had thier own business and my dad worked out of of sate quite a bit and the benefit was that we got to go and visit him. This started my love for traveling, it really is an addiction. Once you start you can not stop! By the time I was 17 I had traveled to Europe on one of those wild tours seven countries in fourteen days. Well that was it, how could you just sit in one place? When I was 20 I lived in Denmark for six months and traveled for 8 weeks through most of Europe. This sealed the deal. If I could pick one thing to do for the rest of my life it would be to go out and travel, explore, document new places I have never been… if this were an Olympic sport – this would be mine! I would love to go and photograph the World and all of its little nooks and crannies!
So as we go through this year, I will be showing some of my favorite little places on earth!
One of my latest favorite places to travel is Scotland, I have been fortunate to have traveled here a few times. but there is something else, I have a sort of passion for standing stones, or maybe it is more of fixation on them simple amaze me!
Enjoy!

Ballymeanoch Standing Stones - One of my favorite Things
Ballymeanoch (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Meadhonach – the middle settlement) is a complex of neolithic structures located in Kilmartin Glen, Scotland. It includes an avenue of two rows of standing stones with 4 and 2 stones each, a stone circle, and a henge with a small burial cairn. According to the Historic Scotland marker at the site, the circle and standing stones are the older structures and their construction dates back to over 4000 years ago. The tallest stone is 4 metres (12 feet) height. The two middle stones of the four stone line are heavily carved with cup and ring marks. The structures are located on a privately owned sheep farm but can be accessed via a series of paths that run between fences. The site is adjacent to the Dunchraigaig cairn for which there is a car park along the road.
