I had the pleasure of finally visiting Stonehenge and Avebury in July 2022 and it was everything I dreamed it would be. The combination of ancient stones with their deep cultural and spiritual significance set in the rolling green English countryside is simply sublime.
Even better with sheep! On this particular day the sheep were far out in the fields, but still I was reminded of one of my favorite artists, Henry Moore, and his love for sheep among the stones and sculptures around his home.
