The Elvis Stones
I was sent this photo by Bryn Edwards from Pontypridd. He tells me:
"We were coming back from The Crown Inn late one night in 1996, on our way to a mates place (with a few take-outs) in Kinnerton. There were a few of us staying, including members of the Kinnerton School of Existential Phenomenology Studies. We'd had a good night, a few pints, but there'd been a bit of a debate in the pub with another local, who favoured the transcendental phenomenological approach. For us, phenomenological reduction means leading phenomenological vision back from the apprehension of a being, whatever may be the character of that apprehension, to the understanding of the Being of this being (projecting upon the way it is unconcealed kind of thing). A bout of arm wrestling soon proved us right though. Anyway, as we walked along the lane we thought we'd take a photo of the Radnor Four Stones in the moonlight. It was a bit spooky, and my mate Reg said he's seen a figure with a horn, but I thought he were mucking about like. Anyway, when I got me photos back from Boots there was this one with, I think, ghosts in it."
Personally I can't see nothing strange about it, but the enlargement does show some very slight facial characteristics. I have humorously titled him 'Elvis', and for a bit of fun, have altered the local ley map on my wall to now read 'The Elvis Stones'. It's only a bit of fun, and my guess is that Bryn and the lads were having a lark, using lambing torches, a curtain, and possibly some levers to achieve the spooky photographic effect.

It's fun to look at (no matter whether it's a spoof or not). Thank you for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteCool :)
ReplyDeleteLoving your blog.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think the Elvis thing is bunk. What I'm seeing is the virgin Mary.
Thanks everyone. Bryn's also sent me a few mp3's - one I particularly like is called 'Techniques for yourn Spiritual Alignment' by 'Stan & the Llandovery Vibrational Frequency Society'. It sounds a bit like Hawkwind, but with ABBA singing on it, so I might put it up here at some point.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Elvis now resided on the moon?
ReplyDeleteAt least that was what the Sunday Sport claimed...
Well if Elvis was alive I bet he would be stoned so it kinda makes sense!

No, no, I thought Elvis was living in a trailer park in the back woods of Mississippi. Boy, was I wrong!
ReplyDeleteSounds like The Gaffer...
