Three Views Of Stonehenge

From my gallery “A Two Week Photo Tour of the English Countryside”

These are some of the first photographs taken on a tour of the English countryside led by Mr. John Baker. For more information about
this tour, see the heading to this gallery: http://www.pbase.com/drjaysel/a_two_week_tour_of_the_english_countryside

Mr. Baker had an exclusive permit for us to photograph at Stonehenge at sunrise. However, while it may not be apparent, these
photographs were taken in driving rain and strong wind. The weather was not kind to us at Stonehenge.

Hi Jay, Welcome back! These shots of Stonehenge are fantastic...so close, so real, almost like being there. Being there through you, anyway. Big Vote!

Steve Highfield		28-Jun-2008 10:45
A great start to your photography tour over here in the UK, Jay. I know you experienced some pretty severe wet weather conditions at the start of your trip in the southern part of England, however, under those circumstances you have used that situation to your advantage with these shots to capture the true essence and one of the many moods that Stonehenge has to offer. Looking forward to more in this gallery.
