Avebury

[poliphilo]

I calculated the distance at 30 miles but  it turned out to be more like 60 and the light was going by the time we reached Avebury. Unlike Stonehenge- the worst managed tourist attraction in the country- Avebury attracts only those who care for her- and the magic is unspoiled.

Probably the Devil's Chair, I'd guess. It's had a bad rep for centuries. Although one of the stones in the *thinks hard to remember directions* Northeastern quadrant? --- the area that had most of the stones removed, anyway --- is pretty crabby and doesn't like people much.

I wonder if the crabby one is the stone in my second picture? It certainly looks disagreeable- in a somewhat comical manner.

Not sure; I'd need to see it in a wider shot that showed more of its background. My own 5 rolls of pics from Avebury are packed away right now so I can't go look at them to check. It's been four and a half years so I don't trust unaided memory!
