Standing Stones at Monteneuf 2

This is a another view of some of the standing stones at Monteneuf to the south of the Brocéliande Forest, to complement the B&W scene posted yesterday. There are 420 menhirs in total, spread over a site of 18 acres, of which 42 are standing today. The site dates from the neolithic period around 6,500 years BC, although archaeologists have found evidence of man's presence on this site through the ages to the present day.

Very impressive, and interesting. Thanks for the information.

It would be an almost holy site! The trees would have grown since a few years or so ago!

I hadn't realised that there is some circular configuration of the stones from this POV, which for the archeologists and historians must pose some very interesting questions.

Whilst we can put men on the moon, our digital age has yet to throw definitive light on these Neolithic stones. To some degree I think this is right and proper: it's not in our gift to know all things.

Funny contrast between the neat forest, the scattered stones and the straight path leading nowhere.

Beautifully composed and processed

This is quite amazing. They have been there so long, and we have been here for only an instant!
