Year 2 Day 137
We visited Avebury today, a place that's been special to me for as long as I can remember, having grown up just a few miles away and visited here many times throughout my life. The kids weren't too bothered by some ancient stones but then Nintendo and the internet didn't exist when I was young! It's quite hard to get a decent shot of the stones on a beautiful summers day as the place is rammed with tourists so I went for something more akin to my normal style but including one of the biggest stones.
it really makes you wonder how they managed to move such massive boulders into place- especially since the exact measurements of where they sit are usually thought to be pretty significant. Whatever the reasons and purpose it must have been pretty important to warrant such effort. Nice juxtaposition with the teeny people on the hill.
fun shot with the people adding scale - I thought there was some thought that the Avebury circle had been "helped" by a landowner in the 17-18th century or thereabouts
