Some notes are probably in order:

1. Except as noted, none of the images are distorted (i.e. if your pixels are square then you're seeing the image in the correct aspect ratio).
2. These images are Copyright © 2000 Daniel Boulet. All rights reserved. Permission is granted to use these images in any context as long as the copyright notice on each image is intact and visible.
3. The 1280x1024 images aren't quite the same as the other sizes due to the obvious fact that 1280x1024 is a 5x4 aspect ratio whereas the others are 4x3.

If you use any of these images for commercial purposes or display them on your WWW site, please include a reference back to http://www.bouletfermat.com/backgrounds/.

A typo: I recently realized that I had been misspelling the name of the village of Avebury (I was spelling it Avesbury and there shouldn't be an 's' in the name). The images below have text on them with the mis-spelled name. I'll fix this shortly. Sorry 'bout that.

Here's an 800x600 overview image of part of the stone circle at Avebury, England. These stones were erected in prehistoric times by the early inhabitants of England. Although considerably less famous than Stonehenge, these stones are quite impressive. If you ever make it to Stonehenge, make sure you take the short side-trip to Avebury. The 1024x768 version is here. The 1280x1024 version is here. The 1600x1200 version is here.
