This is one of the norwegian stone circles,There is several of these in Norway, but this is the first one I managed to trace down.I was checking the internet for any cultural sights around my aeria, and found this stone circle only 50 min drive from my home.
This stone circle is called "Stolpe steinene" that is "Pole stones" in english.This sight is very difficult to find if you dont ask the local people, and most of these dont know about them, even the live closer than 5 min drive from this magnificent place.

Hi Jonny, This looks like a shot of the loneliness to me. Especially I love the choice of the color that is good on the composition

God morgen Jonny.

This is an alternative view from Norway, I have heard there are places like this in Norway but I never really thought they might be this close!
The photo has an interesting finish to it, a good high vantage point and a soft light to make sure the standing stones are bought out from the quite uniform background grass.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Jonny!
Guess this is the first cromlech I see from Norway.This is a fantastic pov showing the circle. Seems a great place. You know we have the same problem here, sometimes people don't really know about the places in the area.
I like the colours and light here. Somehow you kept the mistery of the place. You're very lucky for going to Stonehenge, that must be really a great place. The biggest site we have is the Almendres that I've posted already. I guess I'm just going to open a theme for chromlechs and dolmens.
Regards, Anabela
