aerial photograph of Stonehenge Wiltshire England UK.Constructed some time between 2000 and 4000 BC the structure is part of complex of Neolithic monuments in the area which include hundreds of burial mounds. Dating evidence from post holes found underneath the nearby car park have shown dates from the mesolithic period around 8000 BC. The site is a UNESCO world heritage site This image was taken in July of a hot summer and the dry conditions show clear grass parchmarks for the "Q and R" holes which are two concentric circles and mark the location of standing stones which predate those stil extant. Also showing in the parchmarks are the site of missing Saracen stones, particularly the pair in the bottom right. Until the parchmarks of 2013 it was not certain that Stonhenge had ever been a complete circle but parch marks like these have show the location of the missing standing stones. This made headlines in the papers in 2014 although keen viewers of my work will have seen these parchmarks when I took the photograph in 2010.

Prints are available from just £50 and usage licences from just £195 - see my price list left and the shopping cart below the photo. The easiest way to navigate this gallery is using the geographic menu on the left. The aerial photographs are all organised in galleries according to their location so start with the county and then choose the town or village. Wales & Scotland are at the bottom under the English Counties. If your looking at a picture and are not sure where it is, click the arrow on the upper right and it will show you which album it is in. Click the album name to see nearby images. There is a search facility ( bottom left ) but this only works with words I have put into it. That's fine for searches of places or well known buildings but in most cases I have not entered road name or a post code. The gallery is only a small part of my collection of UK aerial photographs so please Email if you would like to buy an aerial view of something not shown in the gallery. There are over 25,000 photos in the gallery and I have an archive of around half a million pictures going back to 1999. Although these images are usually referred to as drone photos they are actally taken with aeroplanes and helicopters which is why I can take them from much higher up than drone photographers are allowed to fly. The shopping cart is just a few of the popular items, there are more options starting at just £50 on my prices page. With prints and wall products I can produce any size or style that the photo lab produces, just email for a quote. NB the shopping cart are for standard sizes, many pictures in my gallery are non standard such as panoramic or square. In these cases either the prints need to be made non standard or the image made to fit the print size. Obviously purchase of a print or wall product does not grant rights to make copies for which you also need to buy a licence Prints and Wall Products are made specially to order and therefore cannot be cancelled or refunded so please choose carefully.
