I have viewed thousands of images on RB, some of incredible beauty, but nothing to equal this. A ancient monument providing a perfect background for a very long distance traveller. A wonderful, wonderful image. What must the builders of Stonehenge have thought when THEY as they surely must, witnessed similar sights?
