Stone Henge Pictures from 01/06/2012

I have today been to stone henge and have taken some pictures and thought some people might appreciate them.

um...
we MIGHT appreciate them, but there aren't any pictures in the thread.
So... uh... that makes appreciation kinda complicated.

edit: okay, so there's a big grey emptiness at the bottom of your post, maybe I'm missing something or the images are blocked at my end...? Anyone else?

Awesome OP. Thanks for sharing these. I like that second one.
But why in the religious forum?

Nice pictures, Lucky you.
Thanks for sharing.

Great pics of a great place.

Druids

Great pics, lucky you thanks for sharing. Q. Is it off limits to people or are you able to walk around & touch it? Would love to visit, ancient structures are intriguing s&f.

Off limits but I believe on certain days of the year you can pay a "premium" and get into the circle in a tour.

I nthink they throw a pagan festival there every year too...

Correction two festivals... Summer and Winter Solstice... www.efestivals.co.uk...

I suspected as much , would be hard to be so close yet not feel the stone. I guess it's for the better of the structure.

No not really to be honest, I was not too impressed, I was expecting so much more. They are quite small really to what you would imagine and it doesn't seem to be that special an atmosphere either. Maybe all the tourists have spoilt that aspect.

Is it just me or do some others see them as a boring pile of rocks.
The ancient Brits didnt seem all that exciting if this is the best they can offer. Nice picks and amazing that they could have moved the stones, but am I missing something.

Thank you so much for these!

When I first came to London, I took a night drive out to Salisbury to finally see it for myself. It was a full moon, and the whole scene just hit me like a punch to the gut. It's an incredible place that I can't find words to describe.

I guess for me the interesting thing about stone henge is possibly "not whats left" although I would love to take a look. But why it was built in the first place? Buy who & what was it used for? Was it a place of burial, place of human sacrifice, astronomical observatory or all at one time or another ?
