Glastonbury is a digital photographer extraordinaire!"

the astronomy package Starry Night, a professional astronomy

were in
the distant past from the center of Stonehenge and it's Avenue
and
nearby Cursus.
Avebury viewpoints are from inside the northern inner circle with it's
Cove, and the southern inner circle including views from both the
avenue Coves.

Thornborough, Arbor
low and Mayburgh Henges are included.

Barrows such as West Kennet and Stoney Littleton plus various views of
