Carnac, Finally: Menec Alignment

After Plougastel, we drove back east, to the south side, as it

were, and to that Mecca of Megalithia, Carnac, getting there

just as dusk was approaching. The gift shop was closing,

the parking lot was empty and unsigned, so we just stopped

for the night, a short stone's throw from the largest and most
famous of all neolithic alignments. In the off-season, the

usually-fenced alignments are open, so we enjoyed a stroll

among these mysterious old friends. The next dozen or so

posts are going to be from the Carnac/Plouharnel/

Locmariaquer realm, so brace yourselves!

Menec alignment, 10 or 11 rows, a thousand or more stones,

generally decreasing in size; about half-way down the

alignment, looking back

Two "escapees" (the locals, some of them, very much object

to the fencing-in, there being a large "free the menhirs"

movement years ago)
