Pictures taken on 30/9/11
I took took these pictures when I last visited Stonehenge, I was curious about how people interaced with the place. Obviously the site is a big attraction drawing people from all over the world including myself, I noticed a lot of peole taking photographs eaither of the monument or of themselves with it and people engaging in conversation with each other such as recalling what infomation they know about it or speculating its meaning, then there were some people who just walked around and around as if just deep in thought. What strikes my mind is that this place seems to be a kind of centre point for pilgrimage, we seem to be drawn to it, do we want to know more about it?, or do we come here to marvel at it to try to understand the past, or is it a visual place that is unchanged a place were people can record lives or revisit a memory?
