United Kingdom Ring of Brodgar, Orkney Islands
The ring of standing stones was in former times something mystic. The Ring of Brodgar, located in Orkney, Scotland, is a prehistoric stone circle surrounded by stunning landscapes of moorland and water. The standing stones, some over 4 meters tall, create a dramatic composition against the sky, particularly during sunrise or sunset when the light adds depth and warmth to the scene. The vast open space and surrounding natural beauty offer excellent opportunities for wide-angle shots, emphasizing the scale of the monument. Foggy mornings or stormy skies can create a mystical atmosphere, perfect for moody, atmospheric images. The site is ideal for both long exposures and detailed shots of individual stones.
