Avebury stones

So we went to Avebury yesterday and it was such an incredible place to go to. (I love Wikipedia, you can read more about it here)

To quote Wikipedia:
Avebury is a Neolithic henge monument containing three stone circles, around the village of Avebury in Wiltshire, in southwest England. Unique amongst megalithic monuments, Avebury contains the largest stone circle in Europe, and is one of the best known prehistoric sites in Britain. It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary Pagans.
The history of the site before the construction of the henge is uncertain, because little datable evidence has emerged from modern archaeological excavations.[9] Evidence of activity in the region before the 4th millennium BCE is limited, suggesting that there was little human occupation.

Very interesting to be there and see the actual construction of it, and then read about it after. It just makes me so curious and I want to know why and how they got there!
And Im throwing in some pictures of me in a mask as well hahaha, so cute! quite dark but I hope you all can see it :)
