Neolithic light - Summer sunset at the Standing Stones of Stenness

A sunset tinged with colour signals the end of a summer's day at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney. Viewed from the three largest remaining stones that form part of the Standing Stones of Stenness, the setting midsummer sun is seen heading towards the watchstone situated just outside the ring between the Lochs of Stenness and Harray.
