Is that first light for the season or just for the month?

Nice. The somewhat strange light adds to the mystique

Thank you, it's quite a magical place and has been for some 5,000 plus years.

Lovely. Beautiful detail on the stones... What is the name of that site? I always love to look up info on archeological monuments, ruins, etc...

Neat shot, almost a mystical feeling to it.

Would these be the standing stones out in the Outer Hebrides? It's really amazing what previous peoples living in those places have created, and one must wonder why they are really there.

I've noticed a trend in your posted photos for the past few weeks, you are doing weird and wonderful things with colour and saturation, especially greens, reds and yellows. How do you determine which images will look so good after your special processing?

They are indeed, I guess the meaning of which is something we will never know for sure... but that just adds to the mystery of the place.
