Avebury and Bath



First view of the standing stones.


Remnants of the ring, interspersed with modern markers.


Guardian of the stones - watch out for landmines.


Perfect for bouldering, but such fun is now prohibited.


A view from the hill.


Living history amidst the history.


Evil stone creature looks like it is trying to fly with tiny nubbins.


Our intrepid guide on home turf.



Entrance detail.
Slightly more modern temple to superstition adjacent to the ancient temple to yet another superstition.


Looking down on history.


Looking down on us.


This is where the magic purportedly happened.


Don't drift too far or you'll boil.


Crack in the foundation.


She dropped her tip.


Modern Bath.

Lovely photos - I wish I was there with you all! It's funny...I've got almost the exact same shots from Bath and Avebury in my photo album. :)

I just hope that our lovely friend who lost the tip has enough change to get home... It would be a shame if she had to hitch a lift back...
