This is changeover day, our last one before departure. Instead of staying on the ship we're taking an excursion to Salisbury and Stonehenge. Here's a traditional thatched roof, a disappearing architectural feature.
These mounds near Stonehenge are burial mounds. It's assumed that important people were buried in these mounds.

The heelstone, with the direction of midsummer sunrise indicated. The henge is oriented so that the solstice sunrise comes directly over the heelstone when viewed from the central trilithon.
On to Salisbury. This is the private chapel for the bishop of Salisbury, right next door to the cathedral.
