Megalithic Sites Photographed at night around the world

Yoshida photographed using a 4-by-5 camera, shooting long exposures by the light of the moon from evening until dawn. “My photographs represent time graphically by the use of the star trails. It's a visual record of how the Earth moved, reinforcing the nation that the stones are a connection between earth and sky,” she said. “We're not often aware of how much the Earth is turning. It's a humbling experience to be out at night and realize how small we are on the surface of the earth and how vast the Earth is.”

Stonehenge may be the most famous prehistoric monument, but it’s by no means the only one. In 2003, photographer Barbara Yoshida was on a trip to Scotland when she photographed the Ring of Brodgar, a circle of standing stones in the Orkney Islands. She spent the next 10 years photographing lesser-known and rarely photographed megalithic stones in more than 15 countries and on three continents. Her photographs will soon be published in the book, Moon Viewing: Megaliths by Moonlight.
