Stonehenge​​​ ​Stonehenge was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1986. ​​​It is a megalithic ruin in Salisbury, southwest of England, said to have been built around 3000-2500 BC. We know when the structure was completed, but its purpose remains a mystery.​​ ​​ Constructed in 3 steps​​ Stonehenge was built around 3,000-2,500 BC, and it is thought that there were three steps before it was completed. The first step was around 3,000 BC, and it seems that a circular earthwork (henge) was built around this time.​​ ​​​​​It is said that the second step was then carried out around 2,900-2,600 BC, and wooden pillars were built around the megaliths. Unfortunately, the pillars are no longer in use and cannot be seen. Around 2,600 BC, the most complex third step was carried out. Around this time, the heel stone, about 6 meters high, and the altar stone, the alter stone, were built, which created the surrounding avenues. It is said that it took these three steps to reach its current shape.​​​​​ ...

Apple blossoms belong to the rose family, and their flowers are reminiscent of cherry blossoms. They are characterized by five petals and many pistils in the center.  They bloom from pink buds, and you can enjoy the cute colors of the flowers. Apple blossoms are beautiful flowers that make you feel that spring has arrived. Mainly bloom in April to May.​ This apple tree belongs to my neighbor. At first, I didn't know what kind of tree it was. Even when I took this photo, I wasn’t completely sure it was an apple tree. But when summer came and large apples started to grow, I became certain. The flowers are beautiful to look at, and the fruit is delicious to eat—it's truly wonderful.

The church was built in 1931 in a Gothic style and has stood as a quiet landmark for nearly a century. This year, the cherry trees in front of the church bloomed beautifully again.  With the church behind me, I saw the blossoms glowing softly in the warm light of the setting sun.  The scene was calm and unforgettable.  Nikon D850 ／ AF Zoom Nikkor 28-70mm f2.8D ED ／ ISO125 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/400s ／ -2.0 Nikon D850 ／ AF-S Zoom Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8D IF-ED ／ ISO280 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/1000s ／ -1.0 Nikon D850 ／ AF-S Zoom Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8D IF-ED ／ ISO160 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/1000s ／ -1.0 Nikon D850 ／ AF Zoom Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D ED ／ ISO720 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/400s ／ +0.3 Nikon D850 ／ AF Zoom Nikkor 80-20mm f2.8D ED ／ ISO400 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/400s ／ +0.3 Nikon D850 ／ AF Zoom Nikkor 80-20mm f2.8D ED ／ ISO400 ／ f3.5 ／ 1/400s ／ -0.3 Participating in the ranking If you think the content is good, please click and follow. 気に入っていただけましたら応援よろしくお願い致します。 にほんブログ村 にほんブログ村
