EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic beauty of Grey Wethers Stone Circles, nestled in the heart of Dartmoor, Devon. Standing proudly against a backdrop of vast moorland, these ancient stone circles are steeped in history and mystery. Dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, these prehistoric structures have stood the test of time, silently witnessing the passage of centuries. The photographer's keen eye has skillfully captured their weathered grandeur and timeless allure. The composition allows us to immerse ourselves in this sacred space; we can almost feel the presence of those who once gathered here for rituals or ceremonies. Each stone seems to hold secrets within its rugged surface, inviting us to unravel their stories from a distant past. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination takes flight as we contemplate what life was like during those ancient times. We marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship required to erect such monumental structures without modern tools or technology. James O. Davies' expertly framed photograph not only showcases his talent but also pays homage to these remarkable remnants of our ancestors' lives. It serves as a poignant reminder that even after thousands of years, their legacy endures – an enduring testament to human creativity and resilience. In this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back through millennia - connecting with our shared heritage and igniting a sense of wonder about those who came before us on this land.
