EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the mystical Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria, England. The image captures a truly unique moment as a group of sheep boldly climb upon the ancient standing stones that have witnessed centuries of history unfold. The juxtaposition of these gentle creatures against the rugged backdrop of hills and moorland creates a mesmerizing scene, blending elements of animal life with the remnants of our prehistoric past. It serves as a powerful reminder that nature and human history are intricately intertwined. As we gaze at this photograph, we can't help but marvel at the timeless beauty and significance of this Neolithic stone circle. Its origins shrouded in mystery, it stands as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and connection with their surroundings. Davies skillfully captures not only the grandeur of this historic site but also its harmonious coexistence with modern-day farming practices. The presence of livestock grazing freely amidst these ancient stones highlights how tradition seamlessly merges with contemporary rural life. In this stunning landscape, where rolling hills meet an endless sky, one cannot help but feel humbled by both nature's majesty and humanity's enduring legacy. This print is not just an exquisite piece capturing a fleeting moment; it is an invitation to reflect on our place within the vast tapestry woven by time itself.
