Stonehenge II

Stonehenge II (Google Maps)

Stonehenge II was erected as an amusing art project by the late Al Shepperd and his friend and neighbor, Doug Hill. Hill had offered a limestone slab to Shepperd in 1989, unused in his recently completed back patio. Shepperd stood the rock up monolith-style, and then odd thoughts started to seep into his head. He was gripped by what we've observed as a rare but not unknown malady -- Stonehenge Fever.

Within the next year, Shepperd bankrolled Hill to construct plaster and graphite-covered metal mesh and steel frameworks, replicating the mysterious stones of England, in the middle of Shepperd's pasture. He opted for a somewhat faithful replica, akin to Sam Hill's Stonehenge more than Carhenge or the long promised Fridgehenge. The finished product is 90% as wide as the original, and 60% the height.
