"the strong sense that on the Avenue route you are being encouraged to see the landscape with a steady anti-clockwise sweep from east to west - mirroring the daily passage of the sun in the sky - is absent." How good is that as a bit of work?! Vince Gaffney et al are the ones who should get the credit for that . btw maybe I should point out that I , or anybody else that I can think of have ever suggested that the E-W and river sections of the Stonehenge avenue have any astro connections , it is only the "leg" approaching the monument that does .
