Neolithic twilight
Neolithic twilight - Blue hour sets in at the incredible Ring of Brodgar in the Heart of Neolithic Orkney as the last of the day's colour seeps from the sky. It's long after sunset and well after the throngs of visitors have departed, allowing the twilight to fill this Neolithic landscape in peace.
The seawater Loch of Stenness in the distance just catches the last remnants of light, on an otherwise darkening scene across this beautiful and remote island to the very far north of Scotland.
Witnessing sunset, or sunrise, at the ring is an incredible otherworldly experience. The senses are all the more heightened when experiencing it in solitude with just one own's thoughts and imagination whilst being in the company of these ancient relics of the Neolithic past. One cannot fail to wonder at what history and stories this ancient landscape holds and what of the countless generations before us that have passed through this remote and remarkable location.
