EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the mystical realm of Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria. As storm clouds gather overhead, an air of mystery and intrigue fills the atmosphere, enhancing the already hauntingly beautiful landscape. The dark and rural setting adds a touch of ancient allure to this neolithic wonder. The image showcases the majestic stone circle, standing proudly against the backdrop of rolling hills and expansive skies. Each weathered rock tells a story that predates our modern civilization, reminding us of our connection to prehistoric times. This sacred site holds secrets from centuries past, inviting us to contemplate its purpose and significance. Davies' skillful composition captures both the grandeur and intimacy of this historic landmark. The play between light and shadow creates a dramatic contrast that further emphasizes the ethereal nature of this scene. It is as if time stands still within these ancient stones, allowing visitors to step back into history with every visit. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with our ancestors' achievements. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is solace in connecting with our roots and embracing the timeless beauty found within nature's embrace.
