Ales Stenar, standing stones

We visited this impressive megalithic monument near Ystad, southern Sweden. There are 59 boulders in the shape of a stone ship, dating from about 1,400 years ago. A windy setting on top of a cliff overlooking a small harbour. Despite there being a lot of visitors and schoolchildren that day, I managed a shot with very few people visible.
