Mel!
> why are there so few people in shot?
Most of the people were behind me!
By this time, it was all coming to an end anyway and people were leaving.
Hmmm... I'll see if I can dig out some more pictures from this event... watch this space!
Yeah!

Paul, very interesting reading about the lack of access to the stones now. I'm interested to see that since Winter solstice is one of the few times its open, why are there so few people in shot?

Though I should probably point out that I am actually quite sane. It is a bad bad bad affliction, so don't try it unless you have supervision and really know what you are doing.
Keep your pecker up!

I went there specially for the winter solstice gathering, which takes place inside the stone circle.

Yes, way back in an age long gone, it used to be possible to sit and climb a bit on the stones. But, yes, for many years now, the stones have been cordoned off, so tourists can only walk around, look at the cars, and visit the gift shop.
> It was actually palpable.
Yes, there is something going on there, over and beyond the drone of traffic.
Yeah!

Yes, the one at the back is actually called "Mick", and the long one at the front happens to be called "Roger Daltrey". Apparently the names have something to do with ritual sacrifice.

It is from 2000.
On rare special occasions, the masses are allowed in past the cordon. This was the winter solstice.
However, if you go there, certain rogue elements of society will automatically class you as a criminal.
> great shot and like the included people to show
> scale....
Yeah, people on their way to the office as the sun is coming up...
Yeah!

I like the BW treatment and your title is outrageous :-) I liked it a lot.
I was there in the early '90s and was able to walk inside and touch the stones. I have also have heard that since them the stone circle itself is closed to tourists.
This is one of the most interesting places in the world that I have ever visited. There was some kind of energy in the air. It was actually palpable. I hope to go back someday.

It's not a desert, it is a popular megalithic ruin situated on open downland.
(or did you mean 'deserted' and did your keyboard prevent you from typing e and d together twice in the same word?)

That sounds to me like excellent advice.
The sort of advice that any stalwart Dimbelby would offer if called upon.
Indeed, if that advice was a dedicated carer in the community, all you would need to to would be to place it on a buttered ice rink, and it would slide single-handedly to where it was needed most.
Yeah!

Ahhhhh, Paul...I think the woman in the left-hand corner and the young girl both had the same epiphany I experienced yesterday at precisely 2:46 pm while peering into a bag of Cheetos. I wonder if it was a global occurance...
The vision has continued to haunt me, and has changed me in ways I'm afraid to even contemplate. I fear I may never be the same.

"So we feebly follow the inescapable echoes of our own conditioning and predispositions, and this leads us to the dead end—the species termination—we are now facing."...Kaminski in Fla.
original thought?...no...lovely image?...yes!
