When I was a Boy Scout, our troop from Germany made a Camporee in Southern
England, and we got to go to Stonehenge.  That was probably about 1960, and
in those days you could wander about the stones.  I don't even recall a
souvenir stand.

About 1975, I returned for a tourist visit, and things had changed
dramatically. Now there was a parking lot, and a pedestrian tunnel into the
site.  You still could go among the stones.

I see things are different now.  Sad, because I remember to this day the
awe I felt there as a youngster.
