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's a wonderful photo with Ailz. I've been enjoying all the photos you've posted in the last couple of days, actually. It's true, Avebury is hard to photograph.

Thank you! I am feeling pretty down, and that helps!

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.

I don't know about "OK", that top one with Ailz is stunning! Such clarity, such lovely blues and greens!

Individual stones can be captured, or a part of the circle but that just doesn't show the "real" Avebury. It's just a hint. Though I have to say the middle photo has excellent perspective and the hint is bigger.
:)
The photo with Ailz is lovely!
I have loved your travel series.

Thanks for the wonderful photo tour of your recent travels. I especially enjoyed the photo of Ailz with the baby, and also this one of her at the standing stone. Those rocks are huge!
By the way, how do you pronounce Ailz's name? I know two Aileens, one calls herself A-leen, and the other calls herself I-leen? How does your wife call herself? I believe it is important to pronounce a person's name properly, even if only in one's mind.
Oh, your England! The way you present it in your photos is so appealing.
