Towards the end of last week we got a message from the Britglyph project<\/a> who are trying to recreate a very big image out of stones.<\/p>\n

The idea of pictures marked out on the ground, a geoglyph<\/a>, \u00a0is not new and dates back thousands of years, but for this piece of art it is set to be one of the biggest.<\/p>\n

People throughout the country have been\u00a0traveling\u00a0to a number of set locations with a stone and a camera.<\/p>\n

Once in position they record their visit as a photograph and leave the stone behind.<\/p>\n

Once all the stones are in place an image, based on\u00a0\u00a0John Harrison’s Chronometer H5<\/a>, will be\u00a0visible\u00a0on a map.<\/p>\n

The project is being supported by by Shozu<\/a> and Moblog<\/a><\/p>\n

We get involved<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was decided that our stone should be placed in Carlisle near to the castle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charlie sat next to the stone we had chosen and had his photo taken. \u00a0This photo would join the many others on the Britglyph website when we returned home.<\/p>\n

My dad had to help us upload the image to the website. He had a few problems until Alfie, from the website, got in touch and sorted things out.<\/p>\n

You can now see Charlie sitting next to his rock just next to Carlisle Castle on their website<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Once the photo was taken we moved the rock to the side of the castle wall, so that it is out of the way of any grass cutting equipment, but still nearby for the world record attempt.<\/p>\n

Get involved<\/strong><\/p>\n

You still have time to get involved as a few of the stones have not been placed. \u00a0Go along to The Britglyph Project and Own a Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

We will let you know as soon as we know if the record attempt has been successful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
