Stonehenge or Foamhenge



Below is a funny sign warning you not to deface the monument......I wouldn't! Would you?




Stonehenge or Foamhenge, that is the question. So if you can't make it to Stonehenge maybe you should try the alternate on this continent Foamhenge. Located near the Natural Bridge of Virginia. This is eerily like the original. Unfortunately the architect of this monument had a castle like studio not far away and some overly zealous people burned it thinking that foamhedge was an embodiment of evil. So much for creativity and live and let live. Some people need to get a life.



Below is Merlin the magician his face is said to be cast from a friend of the artist who has deceased, he thought that his friend look like Merlin should have looked.




Yes, the same Natural Bridge that Washington surveyed, and was owned at one point by Thomas Jefferson. The bridge has been listed as one of the natural wonders of the world. Unfortunately it did not become a state park and was up for sale in 2007 for a mere $32,000,500.00. I couldn't find out if it sold, so if you have a little cash lying around and want to do some thing great buy the property and start a state park. I went to Natural Bridge as an eight year old child. The hotel was wonderful and the only draw was the bridge itself. I must say I was appalled at the commercialization of the property, when I went back years later. Below is an oil painting by Edward Church of the Natural bridge.
