Forgotten secrets

Forgotten secrets - Dawn at the Ring of Brodgar in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney just minutes before the sun breaks over the Loch of Harray on the far eastern horizon. As the sky floods with the colour of pre dawn, the early light paints this ancient Neolithic landscape with a rich and colourful warmth.

Set in a magnificent natural amphitheatre and close to other key Neolithic monuments such as the Standing Stones of Stenness, Maes Howe and the Barnhouse Stone, one cannot fail to wonder as to the history and purpose of this Neolithic landscape and the forgotten secrets it holds.

Another image from a truly unforgettable dawn at the ring; captivating to experience, truly privileged to witness.
