Panel 1
Wide angle shot. A farmer, Robbie, is working the field with an ox pulling a ploughshare and is approaching the stone circle. He is wearing woolen grey slacks and a thick wool sweater with a checker pattern running across the chest. A cap covers his head. Grey hair hangs out from under it and he has thick side burns on a weathered face with a hooked nose. A border collie, Jock, is running through the field, maintaining its distance from the circle. The sky is covered in clouds.
