EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us back in time to the rural landscapes of Dorset, where a Bronze Age cemetery known as Winterbourne Poor Lot Barrows stands silently amidst a blanket of snow. The scene is both haunting and mesmerizing, capturing the essence of an ancient civilization that once thrived in this very spot. The barrows, or burial mounds, are shrouded in mystery as they bear witness to centuries gone by. These sacred grounds hold untold stories of lives lived long ago, their significance etched into every icy detail. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the chill of winter air on our skin and hear the whispers carried by the wind. Davies' masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the historical importance but also the natural beauty surrounding these ancient tombs. The contrast between cold white snow and dark earth creates a striking visual impact that draws us deeper into contemplation. In this frozen moment captured through Davies' lens, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and how their legacy shapes our present-day understanding of human history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in death, there is beauty and reverence for those who have passed on from one season to another - forever preserved within these timeless barrows.
