Stonehenge

It's been a long time since I last posted. But two weeks ago I went to Stonehenge and Bath and took a bunch of pictures.

Stonehenge is definitely a sight to see, but nothing majestic like I conjured up in my mind when I first saw its pictures in a childrens' encylopedia fifteen years ago. The mysterious aura of the place gets lost once you see  that it's actually surrounded by highways, and is right now just an intersection in the middle of civilization (well not really, it's in a rural area but you can hear the buzzing of cars from the highways.)

But what's funny is that currently these ancient stones are watched (and protected figuratively maybe?) by flocks of sheep that just graze as they quietly gaze at the stones, which some archeologists believe are in the shape of women genitalia...

The interesting fact about Stonehenge: Scientists believe it took 20 million hours to build it. (wikipedia) Wow..

And you know, jumping pictures never get old...

Stanmer Park

Stanmer Park is right down the hill from our school, very rustic and pastoral. The fields were very green and looked georgous with the dramatic lighting of the clouds and hazy weather. Although I used to think I don't like scenery pictures, I realized I actually do.


I took the first picture on the top of the hill on my way down. When you compare it to the fields below, it looks very desolate and barren. It's weird because there are farms below everywhere and trees cover the hills across.
