Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.
Thanks Lisa, it had been about 20 years since I'd visited Maryhill and the Stonehenge replica even though it's not terribly far for me! Quite a story of how the museum came to be.
To do it properly they should have constructed two highways next to it (I still remember how perplexed I was when I found out about the actual surroundings of the mystical Stonehenge).
This replica is in an isolated, semi-desert spot with very little population around. I'll have to go up there in my white "Druid" robes on the solstice next Friday.
I hadn't heard of the Maryhill Museum, how interesting. More complete than Stonehenge was my thought before I scrolled down and read the post.
