Nova Scotia- StoneWorks, Somewhere On 5 Islands (Boulder Alignments, Stone Rows, Etc.)
Below I am providing 2 links I found to videos about stone-works in Nova Scotia. The uploader of the video, Jack MacNab, is on one of the 5 islands of that region. He looks at boulder alignments in the first video, one of which is thought to be a representation of Glooscap- it is at least obviously a human (or human-like) profile, similar to some boulders I have seen in southern New England (some of which are already up on older posts of this blog). He looks at other stone-works in the second video as well. Here are the links to the YouTube videos:

Below is a still image of the profile "Glooscap" boulder from Jack MacNab's video. My impression- these stones are extremely old and weathered, and must have been propped up and worked-out a very long time ago:
Below is a pic I took of a propped boulder elevated on a high point of a hill in my area (MA.) I believe this to be another profile deity stone, looking skywards to the south-east. The chin in this one is more prominent compared to the above picture from Nova Scotia, although the other features are more subtle. When viewers watch the first video, they will see more of a similarity between the two boulders when the first boulder (Nova Scotia) is seen from the other angle:
