A low wind pushes across chalk downland as the tour vehicle eases to a stop and the stones come into view—monoliths set like punctuation marks against the horizon. On arrival at Stonehenge the circle’s raw geometry reads plainly: weathered sarsens standing on an axis that tracks the summer sunrise, stones that have watched millennia of sky.
