Prehistoric Stone Circle


EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Long Meg and her Daughters, one of England's largest and most remarkable stone circles. Located in Cumbria, this prehistoric marvel has stood the test of time, defying centuries of weathering and human intervention. The image showcases the circle's grandeur as it stretches across the landscape, its ancient stones standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. Long Meg and her Daughters is steeped in mystery and folklore, with countless legends surrounding its origin. Believed to have been constructed around 3000 BC, this awe-inspiring monument continues to intrigue archaeologists and historians alike. The precise purpose behind its creation remains elusive; some suggest it served as a ceremonial site or an astronomical observatory for our ancestors. Emma Trevarthen's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate the sheer scale and intricate layout of this sacred site from a unique perspective. From above, we can fully grasp how each stone was carefully positioned to form an impressive circle measuring over 100 meters in diameter. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back through time to an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there are still remnants of our ancient past waiting to be discovered – silent witnesses to humanity's enduring fascination with the mysteries beyond our comprehension.
