Went to see Stonehenge today. For any who are
not familiar with it, I link to the Wikipedia Article
here. It was something else. I realize my fascination with paleo-anthropology and prehistoric everything is somewhat over riding in my studies, but to actually see something built 8,000 - 14,000 years ago. I am going to put up some pictures, probably not much in the way of captions but still... Ok here goes.
Looking across the barrows (that little bump) towards the Southeast.
This is looking Southwest with the Heelstone behind and to my right.
'Nother Picture towards the East/Southeast, but this is from the inner walking area, so it is from maybe, 10 meters out from the stones.
The Heel Stone. The road is right there behind it. The whole site is pretty awe-inspiring. I asked my buddy if it was worth paying to see, and his response was, "Absolutely". So there you have it, if you every find yourself in England; see Stonehenge, it will in fact be absolutely worth it.
