[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 827308, member: 53455"] [B]The tallest one (2016)[/B] The [I]menhir[/I] (in Breton: pointy stone) of Kerloas in Brittany is the tallest still standing today. At 9.5 meters above ground (with an additional 2 to 3 meters below), it is quite remarkable, and so distinctly visible on its 132–meter hill that sailors used to use it as a daymark, even though it stands more than 10 kilometers inland. It is indeed visible from more than 30 kilometers away when the visibility is good. It used to be at least 12 meters tall, but the top part got cut down by lightning. Nikon D810, Nikkor 24mm, ƒ/1.4 G lens, handheld. [ATTACH type="full"]413282[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
