A magic place ..#44

There is a magic place in the Salisbury region in Wiltshire, where is set a Giant Stone Circle enclosing a village.


This spot, not far from Stonehenge is not as famous but more impressive to my mind. Each time I come to that area, I never skip the visit to Avebury when I might forget to have a look at Stonehenge though it is also a beautiful place.


It is incredible what neolithic people started there, what was it ? , some fort mixed with some cult place. Today it is unusual to walk in a village surrounded by megaliths like here and surely unique.


New Agers are feeling telluride currents and pakistanese immigrants have opened ashrams catching naive people in some faked second rate philosophy.. they get wealthy, it makes a nice paradox.

Avebury circle is connected through visible avenues to other "monuments" around like Silbury Hill, to let you imagine the size of that hill, it is known that people in the former centuries used to play cricket at its top.
