1st Prize Gors Fawr Stone Circle by Lee (Horatio)

PAB writes: It’s definitely worth visiting the web page to see Horatio’s wonderful photo properly, and to read his description of the joy and magic of experiencing the summer solstice sunrise. As he says: “What an experience, everyone should do it, if just once in their lifetime.”.




2nd Prize Wet Withens by Craig Ridgeway (Craig444)

A very atmospheric image, also capturing the shared experience of the summer solstice sunrise in 2021. Just enough companions to share the moment without spoiling it!




3rd Prize The Devil's Den by Robin Potticary (Humbucker)

Continuing the solar theme, this time a sunset, beautifully captured.




Highly Commended: Broby Vesterskov Stensætning by Johnpeter





Highly Commended: Flintinge Byskov Langdysse 2 by Tonny Marius (Tonnox)





Highly Commended: Großsteingrab Dalum by Martin_L
