Ring of Brodgar sunset - a photo on Flickriver

Ring of Brodgar sunset - A dramatic end to a summer's day at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney sees a sky laden with spectacular colour.

The Ring of Brodgar stands dramatically silhouetted against an intense sky with the setting sun disappearing between two of the standing stones of this incredible Neolithic icon. Witnessing an event like this is not easily forgotten and is befitting of this magnificent and unique setting.
