Very nice Lawson. #2 reminds me of some places around where I live. My family comes from the Isle of Skye (well about 150 yrs ago) and I'd very much like to visit Scotland sometime.

Nice!
Do those standing stones have anything in common with Stonehenge?

Really like the first shot. Beautiful work.

Nice shots, I was going to ask the same thing that Pekka did on the first photo, all I can say is someone had a lot of free time on there hands to place those monster stones like that. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Beauties.
I moved to Scotland from England 2 years ago and live on the North East Coast.
Scotland is a landscape photographers dream. I've seen more incredible scenery just driving around working in the last couple of years than I have in a lifetime before that.

Just some info on the standing stones extracted from the site I linked in my earlier post. Now thats what you call history!:

'This site dates from about 1800 BC, but precise dates and proven functions have been hard to establish. Callanish I consists of a 13.1 x 11.3m (43 x 37 ft) circle of 13 tall slender Lewisian gneiss stones. In the middle is another stone, the tallest of all (4.75m/15 ft 6 in). Four incomplete avenues lead away, with single rows of stones to the east, south and west, and a double row just east of north. Had all the rows been completed, their axial alignments would have converged at the centre stone.
Inside the circle are the remains of a chambered round cairn of Neolithic type, but archaeologists are undecided whether this was built before or after the stone circle and stone rows.'

Gorgeous shots! I really like number one. The sky, the flowers and their colors...and of course the subject, very interesting and lovely :)

I beleive stonehenge is 5000 years old, and callanish 4000 years old.

Beautiful photos of Scotland. These bring back memories of the early sixties when I was stationed in Holylock with the USS George Washington - SSBN-598. Happy holidays to all..

I liked the first shot for its brightness & colors...but grass looks too much green for my taste.
Second is just beautiful

Merry Christmas

[MilesG]

The first shot with the ominous clouds gathering over the ancient site... an excellent picture.

[peter/c]
