EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies takes us on a journey back in time to the iconic Stonehenge, located in Wiltshire, England. The image beautifully captures the outer ditch of this ancient archaeological wonder, revealing its grandeur against a frosty early morning backdrop. As dawn breaks over the horizon, a sense of tranquility and mystery fills the air. Stonehenge stands as an enduring testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship from both the Stone Age and Bronze Age periods. Its enigmatic stone circle has fascinated archaeologists and historians for centuries, offering glimpses into our prehistoric past. As we gaze upon this World Heritage Site through Davies' lens, we are reminded of the immense effort it took to construct such a monumental structure without modern technology or machinery. The coldness of the scene adds an ethereal quality to this already awe-inspiring sight. The photograph invites us to reflect on our connection with those who came before us, their beliefs and rituals that remain shrouded in mystery. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements, there is still much we can learn from our ancestors. Davies' skillful composition transports us beyond time and space, allowing us to appreciate Stonehenge's beauty while contemplating its historical significance. This print is not just an exquisite piece of art but also a window into humanity's distant past – one that continues to captivate hearts and minds around the world today.
