Stonehenge, Showing The Hele Stone 1928
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Stonehenge is the most well-known stone circle in the world, and this view is possibly one of the most remembered and famous. It shows the Hele stone between the middle upright, where the sun is deemed to rise directly above it on the longest day of the year, June 21st. Despite the usual presence of modern-day 'Druids' (who have no historical connection with Stonehenge), the sun does not rise directly above the stone and never did, even 4,000 years ago. But let us not be churlish about an event that is still spectacular and memorable.
