More than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre/proto Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC. Shot with Canon EOS 5D. Horizontal format.
