Bonus stones for #StandingStoneSunday - the wonderful Nine Stones Close in the Peak District.

Four tall stones remain of this ring, the tallest of any of the Peak District's many stone circles. It has a visual interrelationship with Robin Hood's Stride, a gritstone tor described by Aubrey Burl as resembling a hippopotamus.

Visited just now, on a muggy afternoon.
