This is a photograph of a 1,650 ton concrete replica of Stonehenge as it is believed it would have looked 4,500 years ago. It is erected on the cliffs of the Columbia River in Maryhill, Washington.

A quick Google search shows that the "American Stonehenge" was built by Sam Hill, a road builder, as a memorial to those who died in WWI. It was completed in 1930 and is a part of the Maryhill Museum of Art.

The dedication plaque reads: "In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench."

How cool is that!! I will make a point of visiting this on my next trip north.
