Unbelievably still working through Orkney images probably due to the fact if you have edited 80 property shots there is not too much motivation to work any more images that evening – I took several shots at the Ring of Brodgar trying to deliver something fresh – not easy nowadays. Anyway the light was fading fast and rather uninspiring but I liked the fading sky against the shape of the stones – what an intriguing place btw well worth a visit and quite affordable from the mainland.

Evocative of so much, Scott. Ethereal and dreamy at the same time. Beautiful.
Incredibly lovely in silhouette. You do take some fine shots, Scott! š
Great shot…only just found it, don’t know how I missed it when you published it in June.
Orkney is one of my favourite places……been twice before and I’m sure we’ll go back again.
This was our honeymoon and a recci for future trips I think
Magnificent, Scott.
very many thanks
I like those brooding stones. Well done.
cheers Lyle
Scott, your photo entices me to visit this place. I think the light resting above each stone and blanketing the horizon works really well.
Yes well thank goodness for the light as it was rather a bland day
I think the background of the web page competes with this shot a bit. Perhaps would have been better with a border. Great light though.
I agree with the background of the page competing Murray but simply haven’t had 2 mins to explore manually changing the colour – struggling to keep up with the blog in all honesty – but I want to – all work and no play makes Jack a rather dull boy š
Absolutely beautiful. Sadly when I went it was so foggy you could barely see from one side of the ring to the other. I guess I’ll have to visit again!!
Well keep your eyes out for my Orkney overview post which shows a more conventional shot which I think is quiet decent
Love the mood the light evokes here Scott
excellent to hear Lee it was all I had to work with keep your eyes out for my Orkney overview post
well thanks for that Lee it was all I had to work with keep your eyes out for my Orkney overview post – coming soon
Intriguing as the faint god rays almost touch the stones. Nice shot.
yes ethereal light indeed
I’m sure I’ve never seen it looking quite like that. Lovely.
excellent that was the plan š
