EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring presence of the Prehistoric Monolith in the churchyard of Rudston, Humberside, UK. Standing tall at over 7.6 meters (25 ft), this megalith is a testament to ancient craftsmanship and spiritual significance. The artist, CM Dixon, skillfully portrays the monument's grandeur against a backdrop of an English countryside. The Rudston Monolith holds its place as the tallest standing stone in all of the United Kingdom. Constructed from gritstone sourced from Cayton or Cornelian Bay, this prehistoric marvel dates back to the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period around 2400-1400 BC. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when religion and spirituality held great importance. The monolith's imposing stature evokes a sense of reverence and wonderment that has endured through centuries. Set within a peaceful churchyard surrounded by nature's beauty, it serves as a reminder of our connection to both past civilizations and our own spiritual beliefs today. This image invites us to contemplate our place in history while appreciating the architectural prowess exhibited by those who came before us. CM Dixon expertly captures not only the physicality but also the ethereal essence that emanates from this ancient stone structure. It stands as an enduring symbol of England's rich religious heritage and continues to inspire contemplation among visitors who come across its path even today.
