Thanks as always to everyone who voted and entered. Just as a recap, each month all the photos submitted to the Megalithic Portal have a chance to win by being voted on by you, the Megalithic Portal visitors and contributors.

There is still time to vote on the August, September and Octobert competitions. We will be announcing the results of the July 2011 competition soon.

Please do vote and comment on any photos that particularly catch your eye. A vote from any person will start off the scoring - and remember that you are allowed to vote for your own photos once if you would like to put them forward. Equally you do not have to have your photos rated or voted on if you don't want to. Please contact Andy B if you do not want to take part.

More details on the monthly photo competitions are here.

Just seen this ! Excellent shots from all involved. Hamish has done it again with the kite magic. It could be the most descriptive shot of the Bull Ring ever taken. I salute you. Another special mention to MikeAitch. Your shot moved me when you first posted it and is a very spiritual moment in time. I can tell that you are very strongly connected to the Hurlers and that makes your photo even better. Keep sending them in folks. Thousands of people get to see them all because of your effort and kindness in sharing them with all of us. Rock on.

some excellent photographs here again. The standard is getting very high now! I think that perhaps my favourite of these is Rugballe Grønhøj Jættestue by holger_rix, but can understand why the Bullring photo got a higher score, because of the megalithic portal open day there, so probably many more people looked at them and voted!

Brilliant work all round.

Excellent photography. I personally prefer the klein sloopstein by Martin L. While not as imposing as the other larger megalithic monuments, it is a nice perspective and I like how textural the photo is.
