Naveta Des Tudons
Naveta Des Tudons
One of the few LE images from my break, the main reason for the LE was to try and loose the sightseers who where flocking around the monument. Captured in full sunlight with approx 16 stops of ND it created quite a bit of colour shift hence the B&W conversion.
Naveta Des Tudons is situated on the island of Menorca in the Balearic Islands and claims to be the most significant prehistoric monument in Europe. The construction is 3.000 years old and was used as a collective funeral monument. Inside the remains of human bodies have been found. The Naveta des Tudons is part of a tragic legend about giants who were disputing the love of a young girl. The giants agreed that one would build the "naveta" and the other would dig a water well and the first to finish would marry the girl. The giant building the well found water first, but the other one, mad with jealousy, killed him by throwing the last stone he had to fit. Today that stone is still missing from the facade of the "naveta".
