Great choices for this travel theme. I love the Stonehenge photo and the shot of the pumphouse.

Stone Henge was my first destination outside of London. A fascinating collection of stones. To walk among and sit on the stones was a memory I will never forget….seems like yesterday. I believe there is a fence around the site now.

It’s a wonderful sight, but no longer can you get near enough to even touch the stones. You have to be content to view them from afar. I’m so glad I visited them a couple of times before they were deemed by the powers that be, to be ‘untouchable’.

I remember the old mine with the para sail in the sky. I loved it. There is just something about that image and this one. I suppose the perspective or the fact that it is almost intact. I enjoyed seeing these stone images enlarged too. Great post, as usual, Sylvia!
October 31, 2013 @ 11:35
Thanks so much, George. The Wheal Coates mine is really amazing to see, and the fact that it lies right next to the ocean, makes it so picturesque. 🙂
October 31, 2013 @ 03:27
You’re shoot a beautiful collection of photos here! I have never made a visit to Stonehenge, but have been enriched by photos taken by others. I enjoyed yours, thanks for sharing 🙂
October 31, 2013 @ 11:39
Thanks so much, Allyson. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂

Your photos bring back memories to me.
I love the southwest of England 🙂
October 31, 2013 @ 11:47
Thanks so much, Angela. Glad you enjoyed my pics. 🙂
October 30, 2013 @ 13:55
Wow you have a collection here AD 🙂
Love Stonehenge even though it’s so popular, I wonder what it will be like when that huge visitor center is open in December .
I missed out on the Quoits and Wheal Coates .. next time for sure 😉
October 30, 2013 @ 18:18
Thanks, Poppy. I dread to think about what Stonehenge will become. Another Disneyland, maybe. 😦
October 30, 2013 @ 13:23
Love the last pic of the antique building.
I would like to see Stonehedgejust because….mere popularity I guess.
October 30, 2013 @ 13:27
Thanks, Rommel. If you do go, don’t go in season. You’ll stand in line for hours. 😦
October 29, 2013 @ 21:00
Ha – encouraging us to get stoned! 🙂
October 30, 2013 @ 01:27
Please don’t report me, Col. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 19:40
If only the stones could speak – what tales we would hear..,
October 30, 2013 @ 01:34
So true, Rebecca. It would be very interesting indeed, and I’d be all ears. 🙂
October 30, 2013 @ 05:12
I’d be there with you – I have big ears…
October 30, 2013 @ 11:57
October 29, 2013 @ 19:30
Lots of lovely stones AD.
can only imagine what the Old People thought when they were placing those monoliths!
October 30, 2013 @ 01:37
Thanks, 68. They probably didn’t have much energy left to think, after lugging those monstrous stones around. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 18:52
I would love to see more of the UK. I really haven’t seen much. Great photos!
October 30, 2013 @ 01:41
Thanks, so much, Nicole. Yes, I’m amazed at how much of England I didn’t see whilst I was living there.
October 29, 2013 @ 18:23
A fascinating series Sylvia. The hurlers are new to me! Thank you for sharing.
October 30, 2013 @ 01:42
October 29, 2013 @ 17:56
Beautiful pictures and descriptions, Sylvia. Thank you as always.
October 29, 2013 @ 18:03
October 29, 2013 @ 15:34
They are amazing and the photos are beautiful. Your holidays are always so cool to look at! Hugs and nite from Oz, Paula xxx
October 29, 2013 @ 17:39
Thanks so much, Paula. Hugs to you. Sleep well. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 15:23
What a great collection, and you caught these ancient stones beautifully. The second one looks like a very grumpy character 🙂
I love the atmosphere and the sense of mysterious unknown around old stones, so visit whenever I can.
October 29, 2013 @ 15:27
Thanks so much, Seonaid. You’re so right; the second one has a very sulky face. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 12:11
Wonderful photos that make me want to visit all those places. 🙂 I love how the big stones are just there…siting out, making us wonder about so much. I love Stonehenge, although these days you can’t get very close.
October 29, 2013 @ 15:25
Thanks so much, and glad you enjoyed these stone pics. It’s a pity one can’t get close to Stonehenge these days. I remember as a child, being able to play hide and seek around them. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 11:40
I love all these prehistoric stone megaliths, Sylvia. Your photos are beautiful. Britain has so many of these amazing structures!
October 29, 2013 @ 14:29
Thanks so much, Cathy. Glad you enjoyed these. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 06:08
These are fantastic, ad! You have a wonderful collection of pictures.
October 29, 2013 @ 11:10
October 29, 2013 @ 05:50
Wonderful photos! I watched a PBS program in which a uni professor demonstrated how stones, like those at Stone Henge, could have been moved into place using the most rudimentary of technologies. I was fascinated, just as I am when I look at your photo of the wall supporting the cliff path to Wheal Cotes tin mine. Unbelievable! Thanks for sharing them all with us.
October 29, 2013 @ 11:09
Thanks, John. That programme must have been very interesting. I remember seeing one about how the Egyptians moved the huge blocks of stone that they used. So simple when you know how. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 05:37
The circular stones of England fascinate me.. with all the theories of what their use was and why they were built, if those stones could only talk… lovely set of photos AD ..
October 29, 2013 @ 11:07
Thanks so much, bulldog I agree with you that the history of these stones is really fascinating. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 02:11

October 29, 2013 @ 01:13
I’ve only visited Stonehenge once but it certainly was impactful… you don’t realize how big it is until you see it “in person.” It is especially impressive because it sits out in the fields with no buildings in sight…. thank heavens nobody has built condos next door…. yet!
I’m sure that the National Heritage people wouldn’t allow condos anywhere near this historic site. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 00:38
LOL on your comment at the end of your stoned photos 😆
October 29, 2013 @ 02:00
Hehehe. I just couldn’t resist. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 23:50
I am always intrigued by the ancient’s impossible as these. The Stonehenge is less clue for its purpose than the great pyramids in Egypt in my opinion. I completely agreed with you about the logistic to build such structure thousands of year ago is mind boggling.
October 29, 2013 @ 02:12
Yes it seems very strange to me too, YC. They must have had a very good reason for all that hard work. I wish they’d written a book about it. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 22:17
I liked the perspective you gave us for the pump-house. It explains why it hasn’t fallen down the hillside. Chilli’s shots never revealed that flat spot. 😀
Great stones for the theme, Sylvia. You ROCK!!! 😀
October 29, 2013 @ 02:09
Thanks so much, Gunta. Glad I’ve solved a mystery for you. 🙂 I ROCK? 😆
October 28, 2013 @ 22:14
Amazing gallery – perfect story telling and photos for the post. UK have loads of old stones and they all have a remarkable story to tell.
I love stones .. I think they are beautiful .. I often pick stones on beaches I walked along .. but I don’t think I would get much out visiting Stonehenge, but I love it’s history – been to Easter Island and the blow my socks off – those giant stones just standing there .. and there is no stone like it on the island and how could they raise them – they are solid blocks.
October 29, 2013 @ 02:14
Thanks so much, Viveka. I’m so glad you enjoyed my pics and words. I would love to go to Easter Island one day. How marvelous that you beat me to it. 😀
October 28, 2013 @ 21:43
These are great photos of the ancient stones. Over 5,000 years!
October 29, 2013 @ 02:08
Thanks so much, Amy. Yes, that’s really ancient, isn’t it? 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 21:37
Wow! That’s some collection of stones. Very interesting and fascinating 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 02:17
October 28, 2013 @ 21:30
Whoa! Big stones indeed Sylvia! A lot of history in all these for sure.
October 29, 2013 @ 02:10
Thanks so much, Phil. Yes, a lot of history. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 20:35
That’s a mighty collection of stones Sylvia, and nicely curated. I didn’t know Stonehenge had been rearranged like that, but it makes sense I guess. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 02:15
Thanks, Meredith. Glad you enjoyed these stones. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 20:30
We do have a lot of stones in this country,,, Stonehenge has been having new road routed around it but they have messed it up so badly causing all sorts of chaos.. 😉
October 29, 2013 @ 02:18
Yes you do, Gerry. That new road doesn’t sound ideal. 😦
October 28, 2013 @ 20:04
Hooray for my little England and thanks Sylvia for sharing it with the world 🙂
You’re so welcome, Gilly. Glad you enjoyed my post. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 19:38
Beautiful AD. The Stonehenge is a must see and a place I’d love to visit. Thank you for sharing:-)
October 29, 2013 @ 02:19
Thanks, Cocoa. Glad you enjoyed. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 19:30
I’d certainly love to visit one day too Sylvia…..but I shall make sure I mind the doggy doo doos when I do!
Hehehe. You have been warned, Michelle. 😀
October 29, 2013 @ 08:24
Ah but now I promise to be good….well at least to Halloween!
October 30, 2013 @ 01:46
October 28, 2013 @ 19:14
awesome stone tour…would love to visit someday…never say never!
October 29, 2013 @ 02:22
Thanks, Heather. Yes, I hope you get to visit one day soon. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 19:13
Thanks for the tour through England’s old stones. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 02:21
You’re welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed. 🙂
What a great perspective you did…showing the lakeshore along with the pump house. Just stunning.
Thanks, Laurie. The pump house is right on the sea shore of the Atlantic Ocean. Several of the tin mines actually went under the sea.
October 28, 2013 @ 19:12
Amazing stones, Sylvia, thank you for this journey! 🙂
You’re welcome, Marina. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 19:00
Top post for the challenge for a country mile! Brilliant choice of stones (Did anyone put forward The Rolling Stones?) (wish I’d thought of it, damn)
Thanks so much. 🙂 Well it’s not too late for you to post about the Rolling Stones gathering no moss. 😀
October 28, 2013 @ 18:17
the charm of one of the world’s most mysterious Stonehenge … I watched the summer solstice, there, with druidic magic rites that take place when the Sun arose seemed to dwell in another dimension, thrilling stuff
other interesting shots
sorry, avevo dimenticato la traduzione
October 29, 2013 @ 01:53
Thanks so much, Ventis. I’m so glad that you’ve also been to Stonehenge. It must have been really awesome to be there for the summer solstice I would love that. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 18:15
il fascino di uno dei luoghi più misteriosi al mondo Stonehenge…ho assistito al solstizio d’estate, lì, con i riti magici druidici che vi si svolgono, quando è sorto il sole sembrava di abitare in un altra dimensione, roba da brividi
molto interessanti anche gli altri scatti
un grande abbraccio Ven
October 29, 2013 @ 01:54
Big hugs to you too. 🙂
October 28, 2013 @ 18:12
Indeed they look nice with the Historical feel..I wish to visit them someday.. 🙂
October 29, 2013 @ 01:55
Thanks so much, Harsha. I hope so too. 🙂
