Wow thats a sight to behold.

Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, UK

Stonehenge is a prehistoric megalithic structure on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones, held in place with mortise and tenon joints, a feature unique among contemporary monuments.[2][3] Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel. The whole monument, now ruinous, is aligned towards the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the densest complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds)

Whilst Most artists on the Motown record label were black, there were are few white artists including Kiki Dee, but my favourite is Canadian R. Dean Taylor who recorded Theres a ghost in my house, Indiana wants me and Gotta see Jane.

Fairy Pools, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Oh I love the fairy pools.

Giant’s Causeway, Ireland

So we reach the letter H and I am so pleased I have the opportunity to post this iconic picture of Hadrian’s Wall at Sycamore Gap

This is such a beautiful picture and the story is so sad about how it was cut down. But new trees have been grown from what was salvaged after the act of vandalism, so there is a happy ending.

@axnr911 - the song is one of many songs I have heard in my lifetime. I love music and listen to the radio a lot and so I came across many songs covering all genres. When opportunity presents, I sneak them in on this forum :slight_smile:
