Log Text: Archaeoastronomy Investigation: Major Lunar Standstill moonset along azimuth 320° from St Lythans to Tinkinswood. Basic sightline established, but it would be better on a less misty day using flags on a pole, or in the evening with lights. Then as the setting moon reaches maximum northern declinations (approx. 28.7) around the years 2024 & 2025, capture photo of moonset from St Lythans along the azimuth. (see link below)

Newgrange submitted by DrewParsons on 6th Jul 2010. The reconstructed quartz facade is certainly an eye catcher although there is serious debate as to whether the original site looked like this. It is interesting that quartz played such an important symbolic roll at prehistoric sites across Europe through to early Celtic Christian sites where quartz pebbles would be left as offerings. Photographed in October 2002.

Stonehenge. submitted by pennymoon on 17th Apr 2007. This was taken at sunset on the 2nd August 2006 and is one of a group of fantastic photo's. The light was incredible and the atmosphere electric...with just myself and 7 others inside the stones there was a genuine feeling of connection with our ancestors. Right now, they would be celebrating the harvest and charting the dying of the light as the summer sun sank slowly towards the horizon.
There is no alteration at all on this shot; none necessary.
