The Georgia Guidestones

Nurit and I drove from Atlanta to Elberton to visit the Georgia Guidestones. They are included on many lists as a Henge in Georgia. You judge: There would be a picture here but see the previous post.

There is a list of advise for the world written in eight languages on the sides of the stones:

Like any good henge the guide stones have an observatory feature in this case a slot that the sun shines directly through at the solistice.  Here is a view through the slot:

While we were in Elberton we also visited the Granite Museum. It has free postcards but “only take a few”. Elberton is the self proclaimed “Granite Capital of the World”

The single piece of granite in a needle is one of the prides of the town:

It was an excellent day of driving in the piedmont and seeing the dogwoods and azaleas in bloom.
