EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the ancient and mystical Castlerigg Stone Circle in Cumbria, England. The image beautifully captures the essence of this Neolithic wonder, showcasing a general view of the stone circle against a breathtaking backdrop of rolling fells. The composition is strikingly serene, with hues of blue dominating the rural landscape. Wispy clouds dance across the sky, adding an ethereal touch to this prehistoric site that has stood for thousands of years. The stones themselves stand tall and proud, weathered by time yet still holding their enigmatic allure. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of our connection to history and nature's enduring power. This stone circle has witnessed countless generations come and go; it has been witness to ceremonies, celebrations, or perhaps even quiet contemplation under its watchful presence. Davies' skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of these ancient stones but also their harmonious integration into the surrounding landscape. It serves as a reminder that humans have always sought solace and meaning within nature's embrace. This photograph from Historic England invites us on a visual journey through time - an invitation to explore our own place in history while marveling at the timeless beauty that surrounds us.
