National Geographic Travelさんのインスタグラム写真 - (National Geographic TravelInstagram)「Photo by @JimRichardsonNG The Ring of Brodgar was enjoying a day in the sunshine, covered with blooming heather, as we sent our camera-carrying kite aloft in a stiff Orkney breeze. From this vantage point it was easy to see the henge, the raised earthen platform with a classic surrounding ditch cut deep into the underlying stone 5,000 years ago. The standing stones came later, added after the henge had already served as a focal point of the Orkney Neolithic community for some time. (On up the hill is another henge that never got any standing stones at all.) Brodgar sits on the narrow strip of land separating lochs Stenness and Harray, making it a natural centerpiece of the surrounding farming community at the time.
