Abbeyquarter submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Apr 2011. How the context of a chambered tomb can change; this is one of the most odd settings for a megalithic monument I've ever come across!

Visited: Yes on 16th Oct 2011
Avebury Aerial 0507 submitted by JJ on 4th Nov 2003. Here's my theory: As you can see, the shadows cast on the western side of the circle point to the exact spot for the next stone in line. Perhaps this is why Avebury is more hexagonal in shape than round.

One picture taken of a 3D model conceived during a wet weekend. Projects like this can reveal previously unseen features.

Sitting under the stars for three or four hours with no lights so my eyes have adjusted to the dark so well that I don't need any additional light. Gazing at the vastness of the universe, spotting meteors, satellites, aircraft, all in complete silence. I don't really sleep because ...
