EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of Stonehenge, taken by acclaimed photographer Ethel Davies in 2012, showcases the enduring mystery and historical significance of this preeminent prehistoric monument. Located on the sprawling Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is believed to have been constructed between 3000 and 2000 BC, making it an ancient testament to our collective human past. The monument, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a marvel of Neolithic engineering and design. Its iconic stone structures, each weighing up to 50 tons, stand tall against the backdrop of the English countryside, a stark contrast to the lush, green landscape that surrounds it. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining the people who labored to build this monument and the rituals and beliefs that drove them. The stones, bathed in the soft light of the 21st-century sun, serve as a poignant reminder of the continuity of history and the enduring allure of the past. Ethel Davies' masterful composition captures the essence of Stonehenge, inviting us to ponder the questions that have puzzled generations: Who built it? Why was it built? And how did they manage to transport the massive stones to this remote location? This image is a testament to the power of photography to capture the essence of history and to inspire wonder and curiosity in generations to come.
