When I visited Stonehenge sometime in the early 2010s, I was fascinated by the birds, Rooks, Jackdaws and Crows, that roosted and nested on the monument - somehow I didn't imagine the ancient stones teeming with life along with mystery. This image is re-imagined from an earlier photo that I captured at the time.

you have to pay to get closer to the circle, but then you need to wait until it is officially open and teeming with people. Unfortunately there was no sun when we visited it.
man muss heute Geld zahlen, um näher an die Steine zu können, ,aber dann muss man auf den offiiziellen Start warten und es wimmelt von Menschen.
Leider war kein Sonnenstrahl in Sicht als wir dort waren
I was rather intrigued when I saw a sign for "Stonehenge War Memorial" and thought it was worth exploring. It turned out to be a full-sized replica of the original Stonehenge built from concrete and dedicated as a memorial to local men who died in World War I. It was conceived and built by local businessman Sam Hill after visiting Stonehenge in England during World War I. The memorial was completed in 1929. It is situated atop a cliff overlooking the Columbia River. Turning 180 degrees from this view, you get the view in the previous photo.
This was a nice little surprise along the way. I've never been to Stonehenge, but now I can imagine it a little better.
I recently visited the historic site of Stonehenge. It was a cold, windy, and rainy day, but when is it not cold and rainy in the UK. The site is a wonder however, to imagine how and why it exists, and the lives of those who lived there so many centuries ago.
Old photo taken with my old D70 camera. For the fun of it, I ran it through Topaz's Impression 2 filter. Have a great Saturday.

Our roots in some stones. I can't say if Carnac or this ring of stones is more impressive, but the encounter with our past is always important.
Millions of people were walking around this ring and everyone is taking something back home- the most today a selfi

One of the world's most mysterious and iconic sites, it isn't easy to get decent photographs at Stonehenge given the incessant crowds and increasingly restricted access to the site.
The crowds are a little thinner than normal because of Covid-19, and a visit of a friend from out of town gave me an excuse to visit this local but expensive landmark. I was initially disappointed with the cloudy skies, the scattered sunshine promised in the morning forecast having disappeared, but a long exposure gave some magical effects to them. The best aspect to the stones is from the south, which makes cloudy skies a helpful alternative to shooting into the direct sun!

We met Dr Brian John over the weekend, and were impressed by his arguments - was this the origin of Stonehenge's Blue Stones?
Stonehenge in southern England ranks among the world's most iconic archaeological sites and one of its greatest enigmas. The monument's mysterious past has spawned countless tales and theories. According to folklore, Stonehenge was created by Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend, who magically transported the massive stones from Ireland, where giants had assembled them. No matter how Stonehenge was created, it’s an absolute delight to view and photograph!
Stonehenge is such a magical, mystical place. Viewing it was truly a "peak moment" for me. I thought that it called for a moody & mysterious treatment to echo the emotion that I felt as I walked around the perimeter of this ancient monument in Wiltshire, UK. I think that the birds truly add to the aura of Stonehenge.
A prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England. Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC.
Another shot from a visit to Stonehenge last month. The approaching rain storm and the last sunshine for a while provided a nice contrast level to the scene.
Notice the bird in the midground. A park Ranger mentioned that bird turns up at Stonehenge in April every year.
Panoramic view of the famous Stonehenge standing stone circle near Amesbury in Wiltshire. Getting a photo without any other visitors showing in the shot can be tricky here at such a popular tourist attraction.
I like this particular shot with the stones seen mainly in shadow standing out against the sunlit grass in the foreground and the ominous cloudy sky behind.
