![]() "The Stone Circle of Avebury", ©2006 Elroy Christenson The stone circle at is about a 1/4
mile across with these stones toward
the center. A village is actually built in the middle of the
circle with a couple of churches and a bar. It is a very bucolic
place and one of my favorite spots to visit in all of England. It
is not a popular as Stonehenge, which is fairly nearby, and that is a
good thing. It probably operated for centuries in a similar way
to Stonehenge
as a gigantic solitial calendar and probably dates to the same era of
about 2000 bce.
![]() I often believe that these stones
should have names or least their own religious ceremony. This
particular one I have photographed several different times in different
years. It always has the symbol of fecundity.
