"A natural wonder may be priceless, but the owners of Natural Bridge in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley want $32.5 million. The price includes the limestone arch, bearing the initials of George Washington when he surveyed the site, as well as 1,600 acres containing a hotel, gift shop, wax museum, caverns, and an attraction called "Foamhenge," a Stonehenge look-alike."
How could I have lived this long without knowing about the existence of Foamhenge. This strikes me as one of the best ideas since Vegas.
See env-econ for the full and environmental economics relevant article. Otherwise read on.
A little more digging provides some great pictures of "foamhenge".
Which is only bettered by some of the close ups.
Of course, what is the first photo we would all take:
Having visited the English equivalent on a number of occassions in the days of yore I must say that the US version appears far cleaner which is either a result of the fact that it is built out of white foam or that the UK version is close to a very busy road (and the natural aging process that a few thousand years imparts).
Does Foamhenge also have the associated Druids?
I finish with a competition. Foamhenge or Stonehenge?

Foamhenge! I wouldn't feel disrespectful in turning up at foamhenge, taking my trousers off and running around for a while. I'm sure its much more fun than dreary old stonehenge.
