Just for those who wanted a glimpse of Orkney. These prehistoric standing stones of Stenness are the remains of a 30 metre circle within a henge. Probably from around 3000BC. No shortage of history in these parts!Check out other contributors to Sky Watch Friday on Wigger's World.

A fantastic piece of History mixed with some beef!
Gorgeous photo!! Beautiful sky!
Very mysterious, like Stonehenge. Wonderful combination of colours.
Intruiging! I did not know about these! Thanks for sharing! :D
Such isolation. That stone, standing like a forgotton sentinel, guards the past. The days filled with laughter, tears, crying babies and all the life then. Neat photograph.
what exactly is a henge anyway? I always wondered.
great photo
I love Stonehenge and now I love this standing stones too:)
Beautiful shots!
Petunia's SWF

That's incredible - of course, in America we have nothing very old in comparison!
Beautiful place, beautiful image, excellent.
Dramatic sky. Dramatic stone. Dramatic photo.
A very haunting image. Excellent
I have always wanted to get up there but never did make it.. a great Sky Watch.. which was what a lot of these standing stones were built for I guess.
Is that a storm brewing?
Happy Sky Watch Friday!
