This obscenity is everywhere one goes in the world.  Here it happens to be the steps up from the Undergound.

This 16th century building in the Cotswalds is where our friend Tom Daffern had his offices and lived.   We stayed the night and discussed world peace work with him.

The beautiful English garden near where Tom Daffern’s house.

Tom Daffern works late into the night.  He leads the struggle to preserve sacred spaces around the U.K. and to defend the heirs of the aboriginal people of the U.K whose sacred monuments and places have been appropriated by the dominant society (see England Photos (Set 2)).

Stonehenge

Here one can see the size of the circle.  The stones are very ancient and weathered.

My wife contemplates a Rollright Stone

One can see here something of the distance that the Neolithic builders conceived for their sacred task.

Stonehenge is now fenced in to protect it, but these Avebury Stones and the Rollright Stones are simply open for people to walk up to.  Viewing them is a very moving experience.

Stonehenge

The Rollright Stones form a large circle.

The other half of the circle.

The huge megaliths are set up over a vast distance.  They are called the Avebury Stones.

One of the larger stones contrasts with the size of my wife and daughter.
