What We Did Last Week: 8

[poliphilo]

We went back to Avebury on the Sunday morning- on our way home.

I took some pictures: they're OK, but Avebury can't be photographed....







Still, that's never going to stop me trying...

That is very true! It's so large that a picture just can't do it justice. Well, maybe an aerial shot could give an inkling of the scale of it, but it would never capture the spirit of the place.

The middle one catches the atmosphere, but the weather is too nice to make it look moody!

Wish you had dropped in at our house - one hour from Avebury and almost on your way home!

Oh, that would have been good. Another time perhaps.

You're right about the weather. I think the best pictures I've taken at Avebury were in winter, in failing light.

I've seen photographs of Stonehenge- plenty of them- that make it look more imposing than it actually is, but that never happens with Avebury.
