If anyone actually wants photos of the original Stonehenge in its current state, I can pop down the road and take some, I live pretty close. It's not possible to get right up to the stones- they've got barriers up to keep people back in an attempt to stop them degenerating so fast- but if you know which road to sit on with a telephoto lens it's still possible to capture it from most angles. I can also do you a general 'in situ' shot so you can see how it fits into the surrounding landscape. There are several outlying mounds associated with the site that aren't usually included in photos. If you want a truly impressive stone circle, however, don't pick Stonehenge, pick Avebury. That place is so big there's a village in the middle of it!
