The sunset makes the perfect backdrop to the stones. Gives a most appropriate air of mystery to it.

This is an utterly fabulous shot and I agree with Sheila about the air of mystery! Which stones are these?

Taken at the magnificent Ring of Brogar in Orkney. My home used to overlook the whole area giving the opportunity for compositions in every light.

Just beautiful – what a place I just love being able to say I’ve been there – many travellers just don’t know what they are missing
