People have responded to the picture in their hundreds.

"Wow! well I guess that's it, that's the best photo you're ever likely to take, no sense in taking anymore, just pack up that camera and find another distraction," wrote one man.

"Martina, your fab photos leave me with my mouth agape," added another.

"This may be one of your best. It captures all the glory, the magic of this wondrous archaeological monument to our ancestral forebears, their genius, steadfastness, imagination, commitment to their patrimony and their organisational skills to getting this huge monument built in the time preceding machines to ease or speed the work," he said.
