Stonehenge

UK: Monday (120710); 1155 hours.

I visited Stonehenge on Saturday. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World, just so you know. :)

On the way.

The journey took FOUR hours.

Weather was good!


I'd expected Stonehenge to be much bigger, thus the teeny weeny disappointment I had.


Still, I couldn't help but wonder in awe how this prehistoric earthwork was built. It's still a mystery.


Stonehenge was not in its original form, due to:
i) some stones had fallen off,
ii) some stones had been removed, and also
iii) some stones had been re-straightened in its positions.

What you see in the pictures, is only about half of what's built.


Another angle of Stonehenge.



Epic fail - I can't even see my own face.


A last look before leaving.


I can now tell people that I've been to one of the Wonders of the World. :)
