Possible Stone Prayers in Holliston, Massachusetts
Grouping Seen On An April Outing
It’s raining in Burlington, Vermont today. Not the day for hiking the forests or walking wet woods. Instead, I’m watching the rain out my window, and watching the leaves bud and grow in real time as the neighborhood trees soak up the water.
The indoor weather gave me a chance to go through some of the “visual documentation” — photos and videos — I’ve been gathering during these prime Spring months of stonework viewing. Haven’t yet shared these stone constructs from my visit to Holliston, Massachusetts just about exactly a month ago.
I’m all too aware it will soon be more difficult to see stonework out in our woods and forests behind expanding greenery. Looks like rain for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as well. Of course, that forecast could change. But it is curtailing my late Spring plans a bit.
My focus has been on getting out to see sites this Spring. Alas, these rainy days don’t help. Though, since I have been getting out to see a bit more than I’ve been able to research and share as I go along, I do have plenty of photos and videos to go through from most visits, and much more to show you from this Spring (so far) which I haven’t yet shared. Like features from this visit to Holliston.
This is a public space. With this stonework situated relatively close to the trail, it’s hard to imagine that it’s stood for years undisturbed. And yet, the basic shapes and forms may date back quite some time.
All around this general area sit less prominent stone assemblages or “stone piles”, and there’s another grouping of cairn-like features not far from here. There’s also a possible perched Boulder nearby, as seen in an earlier post.
There is still more to share from this visit to Holliston, Massachusetts. More stonework to come!
