Thank you Holger. It is on a small clearing, but the evening sun unfortunately gets blocked by the surrounding trees. Picture was taken at night and the chamber lit by battery torch. Anyway this is one of the sites with the best ambience in western part of lower saxony.

the light is by torch? wow! the best of your torchlight experiments so far... cause it looks almost like natural. 10 points.

Thanks. Now we are about to enter a philosophic debate regarding: what is "natural"? ;-)

Thank you very much Pat and Martyn. Unfortunately this chamber had been pretty much destroyed in historic times, but probably our ancestors would be a bit comforted by the fact, that we nevertheless really appreciate their magnificent architecture. Only below capstones 6 and 7 it still is possible to get an idea of the original chamber. It is always stunning how greatly they arranged the glacial erratics with the flattened sides towards the interior creating an almost perfect geometrical chamber.
