I did some archeoastronomy on your image. It appears the image was taken in the evening, about an hour after sunset, roughly in mid-August. The image is looking southwest. See screenshot from planetarium sky simulation software (stellarium.org/).

I got some help from nova.astrometry.net/ which solved the image (astrometry), as can be seen here:
nova.astrometry.net/user_image
and here:
nova.astrometry.net/user_image

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astromet

That gave me the orientation of the image (looking southwest, so I knew that this was an evening twilight shot, not morning)...and I adjusted the date and time in planetarium software until I got to a time of year when twilight was involved.

BTW, one of the best examples of archeoastronomy happened not too far from you:

There is something more going on between the moon and the Earth, and the cause is still unknown.

Archeoastronomy uses the rare times and places of previous total solar eclipses to help us measure history

[en] Stefan Mäder is a German archeologist specializing in astronomy who proposes a theory to interpret cupules on megaliths in Brittany (Bretagne) representing not only the Big Dipper but in fact a Rosetta Stone device to find the North in the sky. m.youtube.com/watch?v=62yJ0ZSq #archeology #archeoastronomy #bigdipper #neolithic #megalith #bretagne

New book, just arrived. It looks amazing, nicely produced, beautifully illustrated and incredibly informative even at first glance. At over 400 pages, if you're at all interested in megalithic culture (mostly British) its well worth a look.
