Sneaking in late in the day with this shot of the massive Memory Stones in Portland. These are some impressive megaliths! The 'ends' of the open circle align to the midsummer rising and setting sun.

This is the Ty-ar-Boudiged dolmen, near Brennelis in Brittany - otherwise known as La Maison des Fées (House of the Fairies). It's about 5,000 years old and, unusually for this kind of burial chamber, still has much of the soil covering in place over its stonework.

'Stonehenge at Sunset' - I saw this stated as being by John Constable but it looks a bit too amateurish to me. It probably dates from the same period, though, and it's interesting - especially that roadside cross bottom left. A place to pray before passing by the devilish place?
