Stonehenge & Stourhead

This was one of my favorite day trips our group has taken so far. We first stopped at Stonehenge. It is one of those sites you hear about all your life so actually seeing it in person was a cool feeling. I was surprised at how close it was to the freeway and modern life. I imagined it to be off in some remote field but as the town has just been built up and around this famous site.

Stourhead was the next stop on the agenda. It is a beautiful landscape garden designed by Capability Brown. The pond was unbelievably placid and the colors of the scenery was unreal. It provided for some great drawings in my sketchbook.
