There must be zillions of pictures of Stonehenge. I took several, some from more interesting angles than this one but I like this popular view the best. I was fortunate enough to visit early in the day before too many people arrived, and the sky obliged with a nice bit of cloud. It is a place I have long wanted to see and I found it quite awesome. ~~~~~~~~ Stonehenge - a megalithic monument on the Salisbury Plain in England.It consists of a ditch and bank surrounding huge stones -- many weighing between 1 and 45 tons -- arranged in circle and horseshoe patterns, along with a lane connecting it to the River Avon. Construction began around 3,000 B.C. and continued until about 1,100 B.C. The stones were transported from other areas, some hundreds of miles away. 25 generations worked on this massive structure.

according to philcUK, the gaps in the stones are caused by artillery practice ... I think that's what he said .. let me check

Yep! Lyndy...tell us the truth...you were here as part of the 'Witches Coven'...dancing naked all around the campfires during the 'waining' Moon!...Weird things happen here!

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

Beautiful shot, Lyn. I thought it a truly moving and awesome place and I still marvel when I see it. Nice time of day for a capture with the lt. blue clouds and green grass.

This stone structure has always amazed me as to what it was suppose to be. I can't figured out what they must have had in mind back then. Very nice capture of the stone along with being thought provoking..

Of the "zillions" this has to be in the top "million". I'd be a little more specific but I haven't seen all of the "zillions" yet. Nice capture and and very informative ... I learned something today about these famous stones. Thank you for this presentation Eve.

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
I remember camping near here as a child at Salisbury race course.. I have such great memories of this place would love to go back......can't say i have danced there though.
This is a lovely shot.

Most people lye asleep and notice nothing around them. Just wake up and see the natural beauty around you. It will blow you away.
