I would sure like to see Stonehenge in person before I die; so interesting and amazing!

We have a fake Stonehenge in Goldendale WA

I took some amazing photos of a model on the “altar” and near against the vertical stones at surise one day. Perfect timing with a ray if light coming thru the far side of rhe circle of stones casting across the beautiful woman’s body and throwing her shadow onto another vertical stone.

We arrived and the sun was just beginning to rise.....I had a 5 minute window for the shot of hwr standing where the sun was perfectly placed.

Me too! It’d be fascinating. To stand there and think about all the events that are almost unimgainable to us here and now in the 21st Century... It’d give me the chills, that’s for sure!

...all the events that might have taken place there are almost unimgainable...

Big failing of mine: I'll often edit something then not check that it still makes sense afterward, lol!

To access Stonehenge you have to park across the road, and a little down from it. Then you go into the visitor center, with the inevitable gift shop, and you go through an underground tunnel. You can’t go close enough to touch the stones, you have to stay on a walking path around the stones.

We also found one of the small Stonehenge’s in the Cotswold countryside. That was very cool! They say that if you try to count the stones there, you will not come up with the same number twice. Something to do with the magnetic field disrupting your concentration. I tried it, and gave up! LOL
