Monday Aug 10th: Stonehenge, Winchester Cathedral and Bournemouth
We have now departed London and have headed back south towards the coast. We ran into some rain before reaching Stonehenge but it settled as we approached the site. The clouds added to the drama of this already very interesting place to visit.
After lunch we visited Winchester and Winchester Cathedral ... and yes now for any of you of that generation you will now be singing the song. Another great place for photographs complete with a crypt with an interesting statue in the middle. Not while we were there but this crypt is famous for flooding and filling with water.
We are now in Bournemouth and getting ready for the next couple of days to explore and photograph the Jurasic coast. Enjoy todays photos.
We were not sure if we were on our way to a concert or Stonehenge!

Panoramic of Stonehenge, many interesting angles to shoot from
This is a big problem on the approach road, bumper to bumper traffic trying to get a look at Stonehenge
B&W HDR adds to the drama of the location

This is the crypt with it’s interesting statue. This is located below the alters
A chapel to one of the early Arch Bishops who is buried in the crypt in the foreground. This church dates back into the 15th century.
Many interesting stair cases and little pockets to explore and photograph

That’s it for this evening, good night from all the Trekkers here in Bournemouth, England.
