Grazie!

Mi sembrava giusto mettere l'etichetta (Tags) Breizh perchè ho visto che amate molto le vostre tradizioni, un omaggio.

P.S. Conosco anche qualche vostra danza come l'an dro, la kost ar c'hoat, la rond de St. Vincent ecc. :-)

STEUTADOU AR VAENEG, KARNAG, BRO WENED

LE MENEC ALIGNMENT, CARNAC, BRITTANY

Carnac is famous as the site of more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones. The stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany. The 12 rows are composed with stones from 90cm to 2m50. The Carnac stones were erected during the Neolithic period which lasted from around 4500 BC until 2000 BC. The precise date of the stones is difficult to ascertain as little dateable material has been found beneath them, but c.3300 BC is commonly attributed to the site's main phase of activity. Local tradition claims that the reason they stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman legion turned to stone by Merlin (Brittany has its own local versions of the Arthurian cycle). I took the picture at the end of a rainy day in april 2001 (according to the size of the pool, it was not the only rainy day of the month !).

LES ALIGNEMENTS DU MENEC, CARNAC, MORBIHAN

(ar vaeneg = le lieu empierré !) Carnac est le site de plus de 3000 menhirs d'époque préhistorique érigés par un peuple pré-celtique. La datation précise est difficile à réaliser, mais on retient la date de 3300 avant JC. Les douze files sont constituées de pierres entre 90cm et 2m50. La légende locale attribue cet alignement à Merlin qui aurait pétrifié une légion romaine. Coucher de soleil par un jour pluvieux d'avril 2001 (A voir l'étendue de la "mare", une succession de jours pluvieux !).
