Many of us Americans have interest in the historic site that dates back before the written histories tell who what and where. England had some pretty smart people who originally designed and built and then added to Stonehenge, no doubt about it!
Sharing with Sepia Saturday this week. Take a moment to see what others have gathered to share. My only connection is through the wheels on visitors vehicles.
Shop for a treat, anyone?

...Stonehenge is quite a site and sight. Isn't English wonderful?
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and misspelling is my middle name!
DeleteSuch a fascinating site. So glad that they restored it to this point.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, but all fenced off to people who have damaged it, I've heard.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Stonehenge. It is an interesting place. Have a great weekend!
Stonehenge is so amazing. I was fortunate to visit back when one could still walk among the stones.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there was an energy shift among them...just from the huge amount of stone arranged that way!
DeleteI visited it on a family holiday back in the early 1970s, when one could still get up close as well. Left a lasting impression!
ReplyDeleteIt's simply an amazing archeological construction!
DeleteThat place is fascinating.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is.
DeleteYears ago I visited Stonehenge before it was completely restricted but it still had simple rope guidelines to keep people off the stones. What I later discovered was that there are many similar neolithic stone circles just as old or older scattered all around Britain and most are completely open to the public 24/7 year round. So on our honeymoon my wife and I went to the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides and stayed at farmhouse B&B on that was right next to a large stone circle. It was also June 21 on the summer solstice and at that altitude the sun barely sank below the horizon. It was one of the most magical places I've ever visited.
