Mysteries and Wonders of the World

Today we traveled as far back as you can go in England- Stonehenge. Such a wonder and mystery- why was it built? What was it used for? How were the people able to construct in the first place? Was it even built by man? These are the questions we pondered while walking around this famous wonder of the ancient world.
After pondering this beautiful monument, we went over to Salisbury- home of the beautiful Salisbury Cathedral, a church that's been going for almost 800 years! It's so amazing what people accomplished with such limited resources. I wonder what will be left of our civilization after a few thousand years. How we will be remembered? Will it be something amazing and mysterious, beautiful and magnificent? Or maybe something terrible? The choice is ours.
After our astonishing tours, we had some free time to walk around and take in the beautiful town. We went to the market and one of the local pubs. While we were out, we found one of the peaceful rivers going through the town with these swans swimming around.

So my photo story is dedicated to that moment and what I saw while watching them swim- check it out!

  1. Lovely photos. :) I'm voting for extra terrestrials building Stonehenge.

    The swans, ginger children, and Tchaikovsky makes the scene a little eerie. I AM THE SWAN QUEEN!
