Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place.
Give me time, give me space.
Give me real, dont give me fake.
Give me strenght, reserve control.
Give me one,`cause one is best.
In confusion,confidence.
Give me peace of mind and trust.
Dont forget the rest of us.
Give me heart and give me soul.
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix.
Open up your eyes.......
The outer set of corridors is reputed to be the longest in the world being about 6.9 m height, 400 feet in each in the east and west and about 640 feet in north and south and inner corridors are about 224 feet in east and west and about 352 feet each in north and south.

This marvel in Deco actually dates back to around 1940, so it arrived on planet earth before the atomic age and saucermania.
James Ollinger says: This is very similar to the Harrison Light Corrector, albeit a little more complicated. You peer through it at a light source, and the field of view is split in half. One side is yellow, the other is red or green, depending on the position the of filter. You turn the knob until the color on either side of the line appears to be about the same, then read the number on the dial. Multiply it by 100 and that's the color temperature in degrees Kelvin. You can then figure out which camera filters to use to correct the light.
Avebury is one of Britain's most important prehistoric sites, renowned for the standing stones that punctuate the village and represent the remains of one of the largest Neolithic stone circles ever constructed.
The present village of Avebury was built partially within the old stone circle, which is itself surrounded by earthworks forming a vast circular ditch, a massive undertaking. Almost half the stones of the outer circle remain in some form, mostly on the western side closer to the heart of the village. The huge roughly hewn monoliths are impressive, not least for the effort that must have been required to transport them and erect them here in a standing position.
South of the main circle and village is the Avenue which extends outwards for some distance towards West Kennett. The Avenue is lined on both sides by more standing stones, many of which are missing and generally smaller than those in the circle, but it still makes for a dramatic approach to the site.
My first encounter with Avebury was through a spooky television series in the 1970s called 'Children of the Stones' which was filmed on location here. The memory of the eerie atmosphere of the mysterious stones had stayed with me ever since.

At Killington. It was pretty much all steep ice between the moguls, so we didn't bother trying it this time.
The light and weather were rather strange today [Sunday]. The cliffs at Dover are shrouded in sea mist and the light was rather subdued. There were more boats in both the inner and outer harbour than I've seen for ages, although it is Sunday of course.

The Museum's south doors open onto the Outer Peristyle, the largest garden at the Getty Villa. It is adorned with hedge-lined pathways and circular stone benches. Plants favored by the ancient Romans, such as bay laurel, boxwood, myrtle, ivy, and oleander, are planted around a spectacular 220-foot-long reflecting pool. Bronze sculptures, replicas of statues found at the Villa dei Papiri, are placed in their ancient findspots. A peristyle, or covered walkway, surrounds the formal garden and leads visitors past illusionistic wall paintings to spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean.
All the buildings nearest the church were reserved for the monks; visitors were generally not allowed there. In contrast, the outer court was a more public area, accommodating a wide range of services and storage buildings within a strong perimeter wall. This is an unusually complete example.
The first challenge for Jeremiah and his Chosen was to find their way from Heathrow to the outer London suburb where The Gap was said to exist and, if he was reading the signs properly, would open soon with The Second Coming. Although it was barely five miles away, there seemed to be no easy route.
They tried for the Heathrow Express, but Jeremiah balked when he realised this one journey alone would cost the entire food budget, and they'd still have to catch another train out of London afterwards. Michael, the eager acolyte who had been reading the Rough Guide to London said they should all get Oyster cards and Tad, the Chosen whose dad was paying all the data roaming charges on his phone, had access to Google maps, said they should get to Hatton Cross and then ride the 555 to their destination.
Michael went to buy the Oyster Cards, nearly derailing the whole process by refusing to drop the cod English accent he'd adopted from the moment the plane landed, saying "listen old chap, I've always been more in touch with my English roots I say, what."
Oyster cards acquired they marched, like a boy band with too many members, over to the bus stop, where they stood with the airport cargo handlers and locals, while Justin complained that they should've caught a cab all along, that Tad's dad would've paid for it anyway.
Jeremiah boarded the bus first, ascended to the upper deck and positioned himself at the front seat. He could see exactly where they were going, and just as he used to as a child sitting at the front of the school bus, he took hold of an imaginary wheel, and steered them towards their destination.
