Once again something which could only be found in America - Stonehenge rebuilt using old cars. I saw the words in a sticker in a random Flickr photo and decided to search for it. There are plenty of results, showing the rather impressive sight. I chose this photo because it seemed down to earth and showed the sight well - there are some cool perspective and HDR shots too if you follow that link.

As with absolutely everything this automotive construction has a Wikipedia article which details that it is located near Alliance, Nebraska, was built by Jim Reinders and was dedicated during the summer solstice, 1987.

The actual purpose of Stonehenge is still up for debate, though it is suspected to have largely astrological significance as the sun shines through different arches at important points throughout the year. Car Henge seems to be more for tourists these days, as a visitor centre was constructed in 2006. I don't blame them, as its certainly something worth seeing and far more impressive than any old ball of twine.
