"Lean on me" -comes to mind !! I love and am intrigued by these big stones -- how they got there , why upright , their meaning or purpose !! Super shot Hazel !
I can't comprehend how these amazing stones have survived around 6,000 years of weathering, makes our meagre existence, time wise, seem fleeting doesn't it & I like Beryl, ask, why upright ? Were they flung from outer space ?
I got those boots at a shop called 'Hotter' - I always thought of it as an old ladies' shop (go figure!) before but found the stuff in there to be stylish as well as comfortable! And would you believe that when I bought them they had a 3 for 2 offer on so I got a pair of shoes for free!!!!!
First I love your boots too & I now read that they are ..Hotter, a great name in comfortable but stylish footwear.
Interesting old stones...what a history there. I do think the back ones look rather like a row of elephants walking behind you!
Fantastic place to visit and to stand/lean amongst the stones. I love your hotter boots. I have a few pairs of hotter so comfortable and some good offers too.
No fences, Alex and there are similar stones/monuments in several fields - in one there is a whole circle of them - but nobody really knows their purpose!
This is older. It's thought that Stonehenge was for sun worship but it seems very unclear what was the purpose of Avebury. I guess Stonehenge has a more definite form and is easily recognisable but you can't get near the stones which you can do here - as you can see!
A magnificent monument. I once spent the night n the back of my car to be up early to watch the sunrise. Fortunately the car was a large estate car with enough room to make a comfy bed!

Shucks - would have made a good title!!!
I bet there are some interesting stories to go with these artefacts.
Thank you kindly! I always like mainly to be comfortable in my clothes - can't stand high heels, stuff that scratches or anything!!!
