The granite rocks and boulders, seemingly scattered over paddocks, at the place known as Stonehenge south of Glen Innes, take on another dimension when viewed from the air, as Mr Buttola found out.
But it wasn’t Mr Buttola who first noticed the highly geometric patterns the rocks made.
“I didn’t really take much notice of the images,” Mr Buttola said.
“My wife picked up the uniqueness first and said look at that.”
The images seem to show rocks in lines, and to some extent areas of it also look like a cemetery.
To a casual observer it could also resemble a village n ruins.
Mr Buttola has asked around at various places but has not found an answer as to why the rocks are formed this way.
“There’s a lot that are far too heavy, too big, to move or be placed in that way,” he said.
“I don’t know why it looks like this, and it seems no-one else does or has even noticed.
“Driving through you don’t see how geometric the formations are, you can’t see the pattern.
“It gives you something to think about when you see images like this doesn’t it?
“It’s obviously a natural thing, and I suppose these things happen,” he said.
But Mr Buttola would still like to know more about Stonehenge and the unusual formations of rock there that he has captured on his drone..
