JOSEPHINE, Alabama -- If you're driving through the small community of Josephine in southeastern Baldwin County, the one thing that most people see is trees. A closer look through the groves reveals something strange, yet familiar. Near Barber Marina, behind one stand of pines stands an exact, full-size replica of Stonehenge, the prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England.

Known as Bamahenge, the fiberglass structure was built by artist Mark Cline. He completed the structure this past spring, and the Stonehenge replica been catching the eye of those who happen to look beyond the trees.

"Me and my friend spotted it last night but couldn't really see it," said Raven Hopkins of Bon Secour. "We had to come back during the day. It is really awesome," she said, walking through a path to the structure early Thursday morning.

Cline said he built the structure at his studio, then transported the panels on flatbed trucks. Cline erected the entire monument to be in line with the June 21 solstice.

Cline, who calls himself an "entertainer," builds structures for amusement parks. Cline is also the creator behind the many dinosaurs dotting the landscape in Elberta and Josephine. To get the dimensions exactly as those of the real Stonehenge, Cline admitted he needed some help.

"We actually consulted with astronomers and historians to get it right," Cline told AL.com. He says he plans to build another one, but of stone this time. "You know, I've got some more plans for doing more structures in southern Alabama. Let's put it this way, when the aliens land, they're going to be really surprised and confused. That's all I'm going to say."

Bamahenge is free and open to the general public. There are no signs or plans for signs, but here are the d
