Orkney gold
Orkney gold - Dawn at the Heart of Neolithic Orkney with the stones of the Ring of Brodgar all painted gold in the rich, warm, light of a summer sunrise just moments after the sun breaks over the Loch of Harray.
Probably my most memorable moment of 2019 when I was so richly rewarded for a 0330 start. Being totally alone at the ring at this unearthly, yet superbly magical hour was as other-worldly an experience as one can get.
The stones take on not just a mystical appearance, but seemingly come alive too; like silent, motionless figures all about to step forward. The silence and magic of this stunning and truly inspirational location was palpable.
Oh what history and mysteries does this place hold, with the forgotten memories of countless generations that have passed through this remote and remarkable landscape. It’s for moments like this I spend the whole year dreaming of. Being in peace with both nature and the mysterious, ancient, historic past; real tonic for mind and soul.
Many thanks everyone for your generous support over the year and wishing you all a happy and prosperous 2020.
