almost had a good &moment there, timing was just out i think.

Go to the black rock in the west, there's a dark green tree between it and the sea, go the base, face north and walk for about 13-14 seconds. Now face south and then add about 30 degree's to the right ( where the 1 would be on a clock if the tree was a 12). If you do a moment there it will turn round giving you a view from the sea right round to the fire pit and henge in the distance. (i'm on the full draw distance and it's just getting the henge in and no more, if only mit would increase the limit for those on good computers :) )

was trying to get the fire and henge to come into view as it got dark but 6:05pm seems to be a bit too early to get it right. i'll fiddle about to try to get the best time to do it, should be close to that time though.

EDIT: i think 6:18pm is the best time to do it.

Can't be entirely certain of the time (roughly near dawn) on the mid-east side of the island facing the ocean detailing the more harsh side of reality...

oh, puggy, 6:18 at that location indeed is an excellent moment, and i particularly admire the geographical exactness, congratulations :)
blaze.. not a bad moment but is that some photoshopping there or have you customised your sky?

Well, the henge is old isn't it?

Although I guess it might be considered new given the era the game was taking place in at the time.

peeling paint is the key phrase though. Not the old part lol. I highly doubt any henges of old were painted =)
