EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning color photograph captures the awe-inspiring beauty and historical significance of Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. Built between 3000 and 2000 BC, Stonehenge is considered one of the most famous and enigmatic structures in the world. The monument, composed of a ring of massive stones, each around 13 feet high and weighing up to 50 tons, has baffled historians and archaeologists for centuries, with theories suggesting it was used as a temple, an astronomical observatory, or a burial ground. In 1986, Stonehenge was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its outstanding universal value as a masterpiece of human creative genius and a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and skills of our ancestors. This image, taken by acclaimed photographer Ethel Davies in 2012, showcases the monument's enduring allure and the breathtaking natural surroundings that have preserved it for over 5,000 years. The image transports us back in time, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world.
