Stonehenge
Wow. Stonehenge is an amazing place. It could be seen as just a pile of rocks but it’s so much more. Rosemarie and I took a coach trip with a private viewing a month or so back. Just us and 50 or so of our fellow discerning tourist.
Walking around the circle, being able to touch the stones is a dramatically different experience than following the path around the edge. You begin to feel the history of the place, and the effort. The stones tower over you, and yet you know that you can see only 2/3 of the stone. I can’t imagine the level of motivation to move a hundred or more of these 20ft stones to make the completed circle that was.
I’ll update with photos soon.
