Album Info:
This made of styrofoam and stucco sculpture is an exact replica of the real Stonehenge of England. The only difference is it is on a smaller scale. The foam megaliths are about thirteen feet tall, almost the same height as Stonehenge. It took one thousand years to complete Stonehenge but only took six weeks to complete Stonehenge of Nunica.

I'm glad I read your caption because I was going to say it looks almost exactly like it!! I'd love to visit the real one. Thanks for sharing.

Wild, did you feel a sense of awe? I've always found Stonehenge facinating. Nice to know that I just have to travel to MI to get a glimpse

I've seen a program on TV about this replica. Really interesting.

I didn't know there was another Stonehenge, It seems a bit weird and out of place in this setting, but this is a cool shot, and I'm not really surprised people want to replicate such a well known landmark. Perphaps next time they'll try it with real ston. Now that would be something! :)

That is very interesting. I've always wanted to go to England and see Stonehenge. But maybe now I'll just go to Michigan instead! :-0

This looks like the real deal. Very good photo - the sky certainly cooperated with you by producing some gorgeous clouds. - DeeAnne

I've seen the real Stonehenge, but I had no idea this existed! It looks so real! Fascinating, and thanks for the reference.

And in a few thousand years (after the real Stonehenge has topples from the masses of tourists walking there) scientist will ask themselves the question: How did they do it? And Why? And why are these rocks so LIGHT?! :-)

This is beautifully done and I had no idea there was a replica in existence I visited Stonehenge many times when we lived in the south of England and in those days we could walk all around it. Now, though, it's a different story and you need to be VERY convincing to be allowed very close. My grandson visited when he was on a 14 day trip to England with his school and he came back with some wonderful photos.

I thought this was the real McCoy til I read your caption..that is incredible!
said loriarnold101
Well, it just goes to show that those original guys should have used styrofoam - it would have saved a LOT of time. It's very interesting to see this. It looks quite authentic except for the trees.

Cool replica, i wonder what theyll use this for and why they built it.
said mtnets
This is great Mary Ann! I had no idea they had a replica of Stonehenge of England there in MI. Looks like the real McCoy. Is this on a highway or in a park? Really awesome shot. Greetings and hugs from, OKLAHOMA. Susie

Wow! This is a great replica of Stonehenge of England. I haven't see the real thing, but my husband traveled over there for work and took some photos from there. Nice shot.
