Description
The ancient Standing Stones of Stenness in the Orkney Islands off the north coast of Scotland before dawn, lit by moonlight. The lights of the village of Stenness are glowing in the background. This monument in the heart of the Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site is believed to have been built between 4500 and 5000 years ago. Originally built with twelve tall stones in a circle over 30 metres (over 100 feet) across, only four of these tall stones still stand, along with several smaller stones. The tallest of the stones is around 5 metres (17 feet) tall.
