Stonehenge

My desire to see Stonehenge during my lifetime wavered when a trusted friend told me it was somewhat disappointing. Oh. I admit I felt somewhat deflated. As a result, I cut out that sightseeing trip on my excursion to  England. This last March I was there again. This time the people I was with did want to make the trek to see it.

What could I do but say yes? Might as well see it like everyone else. It was pretty interesting actually. Yes, it is just a bunch of giant stones standing in a circle. It didn't change my life, or alter my idea of who I was. But you could feel the history there. Not to mention it is beautifully situated in the middle of a grassy field, surrounded by sheep. I didn't expect that.

We were one of the last tour groups for the day, which meant we got to see it at sunset. Seeing anything at sunset automatically ups the spectacular points, but particularly here. It was freezing cold, but absolutely beautiful. And the camera shots didn't come out too badly if I do say so myself.
