Aerial photographs of Stonehenge
English Heritage is celebrating the centenary of the first aerial photographs of Stonehenge with a touring exhibition opening at the Neolithic site.
Dozens of vintage and modern photographs will tell the story of the first images and explore the world of aerial photography in Victorian, Edwardian and wartime Britain, and will look at how they have helped our understanding of 6,000 years of British history and pre-history.

Y'know, from that angle, with those shadows...
Stonehenge looks like a smiley.

Hum,
i believe the Neolithic/Bronze Age megalithic monument was surveyed around 1740 by John Aubrey. From this work, he was able to demonstrate an astronomical or calendrical role of the site. Stonehenge is just one part of a larger `mega monument` that includes nearby megalithic sites and the landscape/river. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge

Up, up, and away...
A hot-air balloon will rise over Salisbury Plain today on a trip that will mark one of the country's strangest scientific breakthroughs: the 100th anniversary of the first aerial photograph of Stonehenge.
The 1906 flight was the first use of air reconnaissance for studying ancient monuments in Britain, and will be commemorated with a balloon flight of English Heritage officials and other VIPs. "Aerial photographs are our main method for finding new (archaeological) sites. They are invaluable for studying the past" - Martyn Barber, of English Heritage's aerial survey unit. Source
