Blackrock Dolmen
We are a civilized bunch on this blog, well known throughout the western world for our sophisticated arguments and artistic leanings.....

If you want to use this to prove that the sculptor knows something the rest of us don't -- namely that the cromlechs of Ireland were built by elves -- that's your privilege. By the way, are there elves on Salisbury Plain as well?
Well, I too think this is rather beautiful, and the sculpture reflects the proportions of the Church beyond.
