If There’s A Bustle In Your Hedgerow
By Barry Dugan | September 1st, 2010
I traveled to England recently to participate in the wedding of a very
close friend. It was an amazing journey and wedding. En route to Devon
our caravan stopped at the famed Stonehenge in Wiltshire. It was dark,
rainy, and very appropriate weather to view this site. It was very calm
and ritualistic as a sparse crowd circled the massive stone structure.
There remains ongoing debate about its origin, its assembly, and its
meaning. Dating back 3000 BC, it still fires up the most intense
conversations due to its perceived role in religion, ceremony,
architecture, and sacrifice. As a guest to this site it was quite
interesting to think of the souls who participated in its design and
ultimate construction. A massive task that considered the sky, the earth,
the sun, and future impact and service to civilization as they knew it
then. I took several photos as the rain pounded, the clouds swirled, and
the wind whipped. After we left Stonehenge it immediately made me want to
listen to moody Pink Floyd and Zeppelin music the rest of my stay in the
English Countryside. No Quarter indeed.
