Nathan Myhrvold

Calanais Standing Stones, Scotland

While exploring the Calanais Standing Stones I decided to wait for sunset and shoot a panoramic view to present the megaliths amongst their background. Believed to be used as an astronomical observatory, the stones still represent a mystery that may never been solved.
