Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell
Where the banshees live and they do live well
Stonehenge! Where a man's a man
And the children dance to the Pipes of Pan

Wow! Really great photo. I didn't know they let anyone that close to the stones.

Good one!

Exactly what I thinking! "We had a Stonehenge that was in danger of being trampled by a midget!"

I believe only on the Solstice's do they allow the public into the monument. Most of the year it's fenced off and we're kept at a distance. If anyone has been there, you might have noticed, as I did, that in our minds and "history" it's a huge monument, (even many of the traditional paintings from the 1800s show it as huge, dwarfing the humans near it), but it's really rather small.

Visited Stonehege in '79. They already had it roped off then.
