EDITORS COMMENTS
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. Stonehenge, a prehistoric monument dating back to the Neolithic and Stone Age periods, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and the deep connection people have had with the land for thousands of years. 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. The aerostat, an airborne craft that has only been in existence for a few centuries, creates a striking contrast against the timeless stones. The balloon's gentle ascent, reminiscent of the soft clouds in the sky, highlights the harmony between the past and the present. As we celebrate the centenary of aerial photography over Stonehenge, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and enduring allure of this remarkable place. It invites us to reflect on the past while looking forward to the future, and to appreciate the beauty and wonder that lies in the intersection of history and innovation.
