Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a place which has been in the news for many decades with regard to the traffic jams building up on the A303, and the need to diver traffic away from this UNESCO World Heritage site. I've passed it many times, and stopped by just the once (once is all you need)

This Guardian article explores the latest plans for the monument.

Wonder where Noel Jenkins' classic Stonehenge videos went?

Stonehenge work finally starts

The long-delayed work to divert the road away from the stones of STONEHENGE has finally got under way, according to a BBC report. A memorial has been moved to enable the work to start at a key junction.

A new VISITOR CENTRE will be part of the plan to change the visitor experience.

One of the definitive pieces of work on this was done by Noel Jenkins some years ago - check it out you young 'uns who haven't seen it....

Stonehenge Visitor Centre

This has been planned for many years.

As a (reasonably) frequent visitor to Devon, I have spent quite a while in various queues on the road past the stones...

Noel Jenkins produced an excellent juicy activity involving Google Earth to produce a MANAGEMENT PLAN for Stonehenge.

Now the proposed visitor centre is a(nother) victim of the new Government cuts - so it looks like you'll be shuffling through that dingy underpass for a while yet...

GeoSquishing

GeoSquishing is a picture taken with a landmark in the background appearing (because of the angle that the photo is taken) to be squished by the fingers or hands of someone... Here's my example of Stonehenge...

Any other GeoSquishes out there from this summer ?

And, because that viral squirrel is getting everywhere, here's my version. There are plenty of generators out there online that will put the squirrel into any image you choose.
