Northern Lights Over Callanish
A Sonnet Inspired By The Painting By Angie Livingstone (The Glittering Fox)

Introduction
The Calanais Stones (or "Calanais I": Scottish Gaelic: Clachan Chalanais or Tursachan Chalanais) are an arrangement of standing stones placed in a cruciform pattern with a central stone circle, located on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland
This is another stone circle that Angie has painted and is as interesting and impressive as he previous paintings.
This is my thirty-eighth piece inspired by Angie's work, and I am grateful that she has allowed me to do this. This is a sonnet.
You can find more of her work on Facebook here
This is her work on Etsy
The music is "Northern Sky" by Nick Drake

Always learn something when I read your stories! Great job
Another beautiful pairing, Mike. This may be my favorite of all her paintings to date. Only 12 to go!
Beautifully done, Mike <3
Your poem was so wonderful! I loved it. You know what, you could also publish this series as a book!
Wish we could see them here. They are beauties.
Your words always go so well with the artwork what a good job.
