Far left is a figure in strange military uniform ("Fred") with a little
mascot (woman) carved by his elbow. Note he has boots on. I have better photos
of him, but an archaeologist has them at the moment. In some photos he reaches
over and touches the stone opposite.
2 This stone is a huge female head with a headdress. You will see better from a distance. The stone to the left of this one, not in the picture, has a marvellous head on it!
3 This is the carving of a woman with an offering on her head. She is easy to see with the naked eye.
The best photo ever taken is in "Stonehenge" by Professor Atkinson. (1956). Look at Plate 20b. The picture is of the television programme by the BBC showing how the bluestones could have been brought to Stonehenge. The temple is in the background. Look at the trilithon at the right. You will see that the two uprights have merged together and become a group of statues. A single upright at the left has a head in three dimensions. "We tried so hard to make them see us".
Every stone, every bluestone
is covered in carvings.
