Ring of Brodgar

            The Ring of Brodgar is a Neolithic stone circle in Orkney. It is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney. It is thought the site was built between 2500BC and 2000BC. The stone circle is 104m in diameter and the 3rd largest in Britain. It originally had 60 stones but now only 27 remain. The area is still being understood but is of significant importance and thought to have been possibly the heart of Neolithic Britain at one time.

One of a few compositions I managed to shoot on what was one of only 3 sunsets worth talking about during my stay. The clouds actually made for a more moody interesting background which I thought would mix well with the stones.
