Stone shelters (1) - near Punta Nati, Menorca - stereo crossview
Known as ponts de bens, they were built for shelter from the sun in the heat of the day, or in bad weather. These stone buildings are dry-walled. The method is ancient, and they appear almost megalithic, but these are most likely built within the last 200 years, and are dotted over the landscape from Punta Nati lighthouse down towards Ciutadella.
If you are not familiar with viewing stereo cross-view images, gently cross your eyes and the third image which appears centrally is the stereo view. See the link in my profile - www.flickr.com/people/barrie_r/?rb=1
