Stonehenge, England
Few places invoke timelessness like Stonehenge.
The absolute knowledge that every year for the past 5,000 years the
Earth, the sun, and Stonehenge have all lined up just so that the rays
of light glancing across the face of Salisbury Plain slip through the
upright stones— it sets our sense of cosmic order on fire. The rocks
hulk there, brawny yet graceful, set in place by crafty people we can
scarce imagine or recall. Then the moment is gone and we realize that
we, too, have been aligned, if only briefly, with time itself.
