Folklore Prehistoric Rural Standing Stone
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Peter Williams transports us to the mystical landscape of Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. The image showcases the enigmatic "Devils Arrows" a group of three towering monoliths that have stood in this rural field for thousands of years. These prehistoric stones, steeped in ritual and folklore, exude an air of ancient mystery. The composition beautifully captures the essence of these standing stones against a backdrop of rolling hills and open sky. Their weathered surfaces bear witness to countless generations passing by, leaving behind tales and legends that have become intertwined with local folklore. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the profound connection between humanity and nature throughout history. The Devils Arrows stand as silent witnesses to our ancestors' reverence for the land and their belief in unseen forces beyond comprehension. Williams' skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, enhancing its ethereal quality. It invites us to contemplate our place within the vast tapestry of time while evoking a sense of wonder at how these colossal stones were erected without modern technology. In preserving this moment through his lens, Peter Williams allows us to experience firsthand the awe-inspiring presence and enduring allure emanating from these ancient monoliths. This print serves as a poignant reminder that there is still much left unexplained about our past – an invitation for exploration into both history's secrets and our own imagination.
