27 September 2013 ~ Stonehenge
Listening to: Catherine Russell ~ New Orleans
Another day trip I did from London included going to see Stonehenge.
The ancient circle of Stonehenge is unique, an exceptional survival from a prehistoric culture. The monument evolved between 3000 BC and 1600 BC and is aligned with the rising and setting of the sun at the solstices, but its exact purpose remains a mystery.
Instead of a guided tour, everyone is given individual headsets to walk around the Stonehenge at one's own pace and listen at certain marker points.
Truly fascinating and mind blowing, to think this was created so long ago. Some of these boulders were brought in from about 500 miles away.

It was a great experience.
I offered a young girl to take her picture, so she reciprocated.
