Spent a weekend in London on the way home from NI.

Took a day trip on a bus and one of the stops was at SH.

The perfect day for a visit.

Cloudy, misty....the ravens were perched all around the tops of the stones...

Very spooky......

I've been to Stonehenge. In summer. Those boulders did not come from a local area. There are none. 7.5K years is a long time for things to happen.

Heck, the Romans had a good time up there 2K years ago. They had a nice grape-growing and wine enterprise going on nearby. Check out Bath for the first indoor swimming pool ever built. Over a hot spring using stone masonry.

Still usable in all it's glory. If the cops weren't around, you can have Roman bashes there with a hundred people or so. Loud music will probably make you deaf reflecting off the stone walls and ceiling. Have the band outside. Jazz would be fine inside without amplifiers.
