Description The passage grave viewed from above. Chamber measuring 7m x 3,5m. The central capstone is robbed and the passage is damaged, otherwise the main structure is well preserved. One orthostat of the south-east facing passage is nearly in situ (near lower picture margin). Another passage orthostat also is preserved, but out of place and largely embedded into the ground (partly visible just to the right of the southern orthostat of the western capstone). April 2010

Thank you very much for your very kind comments. After upload I noticed on another screen this versions seems to be a bit noisy. And I am not sure about the flare. I left it in as it might add to the atmosphere, but probably i should have removed it.

Martin, please don't change it, it's spectacular the way it is.
Did you use a Sunjar for the yellow light source?

Thank you Runemage. A small flashlight was angled towards the ground and leaves inside the chamber to achieve this warm white/yellow/orange lighting.
