This breathtaking photograph captures the mystical allure of Stonehenge as a hot air balloon drifts gracefully above the ancient stones. Taken by renowned photographer James O. Davies, this image commemorates a century of aerial photography over Stonehenge, spanning the years 1906 to 2006.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this neolithic stone circle continues to captivate the imagination and inspire wonder. The addition of the hot air balloon in this photograph adds a unique and modern twist to the ancient landscape.
