Desktop Background Images - Stonehenge

The images on this page are all photographs taken while on vacation in England during the summer of 2000. Click here to get to the top of this set of background image pages.

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.

Here's an 800x600 up-close image of some of the stones at Stonehenge. This photograph was taken with a mild zoom setting on my camera. You can't actually get much closer than about 40 feet from the henge. They have a sign which explains that while this means that you can't touch the stones, it also means that you can take a picture of the stones without a bunch of tourists in amongst them. Seems like a reasonable trade to me! The 1024x768 version is here. The 1280x1024 version is here. The 1600x1200 version is here.

Here's an 800x600 image of one of the stones at Stonehenge. This fellow (stone?) seems to be less than impressed at all the tourists wandering around his home. The 1024x768 version is here. The 1280x1024 version is here. The 1600x1200 version is here.

Here's a slightly "improved" version of the same 800x600 image. I figure that when it gets hot a sunhat is probably in order (apologies to the builders of the henge for messing with their creation). The 1024x768 version is here. The 1280x1024 version is here. The 1600x1200 version is here.
