I don't normally like to shoot thru glass but we weren't stopping at Stonehenge and the sky was very brooding, so I took a few pictures. I like the effect of the dark silhouettes against the brooding sky.
Slightly off-center because the bus was moving.
And from the other side but with reflections of the glass.
Defensive ramparts at Old Sarum. Henry II kept Eleanor prisoner here for a number of years. It's a stark and windswept ancient hillfort. After the gentler climate of Aquitaine, she must have been miserable.
Remains of the royal castle at Old Sarum.
Foundation remains of Old Sarum cathedral. The stone was used to build the Cathedral Close wall down in Salisbury.
More Old Sarum ruins.
Looking off towards Salisbury Cathedral.

Looking down the nave, Salisbury Cathedral.
