There is nothing like an international trip to put things in perspective. One thing that was reinforced is how glad I am that I was never part of one of the groups of people that had to move huge rocks over hundreds of miles of earth. There are large rock tributes all over the English countryside, not just at Stonehenge. I also was given a tour of the lesser known Woodhenge. Let's just say that it doesn't inspire quite the same awe as the stone version.
Whether this thing was used as an altar for prayer, sacrifices, or toga parties it is a pretty powerful structure. I wanted to capture it as the sun fell down in the cold October sky. It is a moving place. I only wish that the stones could talk.
