Archaeo-optics in Orkney Day 5: Spectacular sunset at the Dwarfie Stane

This evening we successfully captured the full brightness of the sun projected into the chamber, just before clouds arrived around sunset,

Is interesting to watch my shadow, and to compare this with the projected images inside the chamber (Photo: Aaron Watson)
