Stonehenge

I visited Stonehenge yesterday, it gave me an opportunity to begin playing with panoramic shots on my camera. These could have been optimized more and the number of pixels reduced as the quality does drop off as you zoom in on these images. The largest stone weighs 47 tonnes by the way ... and 30% of it is below the ground .. and they moved some of the stones over 240 miles. Some theories say this might be possible with over 500 people tugging at leather ropes with another 100 people laying huge log rollers under the stone.
