The largest collection of standing stones in the world, and utterly haunting and awe-inspiring: les alignements de Carnac in Brittany. Over 3,000 of them, perhaps as much as 7,000 years old. These photos are from a trip there yesterday. I’ve wanted to see them for a long time and had my tiny mind blown. What a spectacularly beautiful and mysterious place it is.
