Tallbacken submitted by cereus : Stone circle in Närke. I don't know much about this. It is situated only twenty kilometers from where I live. Just find it attractive and interesting. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Tallbacken
Tallbacken submitted by cereus : I have made this image rather dark and moody. I find it more mysterious and imaginative that way. Who were buried here? A local chief? His family? What did they look like? Like me? (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

Tallbacken
Tallbacken submitted by cereus : Site in Narke. Iron age burial site. I haven't been able to find any information about Tallbacken. There is not even a sign here. Walking around you find these stones and some other stones indicating more graves from iron age and a mound that might be as old as bronze age. (Vote or comment on this photo)
