Stonehenge


Is it possible to see Stonehenge in approximately 45 minutes? No, it is not. However, if that is all you have, then you must make the best of it. Some 200 pictures best of it, I reckon. The weather was bizarrely un-English today; blue skies, mild fall air, how lovely.

The day was so beautiful; it was strangely hard to take photographs, because the sun actually got in the way of "easy" photography.

There were an astonishing number of people streaming around the rocks. Taking pictures (as was I). Having their picture taken in various poses in front (as was I). Standing and wishing they could get up close and personal to the rocks (as was I!). Reluctantly looking at their watches and realizing that their tour bus was going to depart and leave them standing at the rock. Well, I suppose some of them were. I was.

There was also quite a lot of non-human participation in the event; bugs, birds and this guy. We were instructed not to feed the sheep; they were very friendly. Too friendly, our guide said. I ask you. Does that look like a friendly sheep?
