EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us back in time to the mystical Grey Wethers Stone Circles, nestled within the breathtaking landscape of Dartmoor, Devon. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are instantly drawn into a world that predates our own existence. The ancient stone circles stand proudly against the backdrop of vast moorland, their weathered surfaces bearing witness to countless centuries gone by. These enigmatic structures have witnessed the rise and fall of civilizations, serving as silent sentinels throughout the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. Intriguingly arranged in a circular formation, these stones evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity about their purpose and significance to those who created them. Were they used for ceremonial rituals or as celestial calendars? The answers lie buried deep within history's mysteries. Davies' masterful composition captures not only the grandeur of these prehistoric monuments but also their profound connection with nature. The stones seem almost alive amidst the wild beauty of Dartmoor; each one telling its own story through its unique shape and texture. As we contemplate this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that there is so much more to our world than meets the eye. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in an age dominated by technology and progress, there is still magic to be found in ancient relics like Grey Wethers Stone Circles – remnants from humanity's distant past that continue to inspire awe and ignite our imagination.
