EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Megalithic Circle and Dolmen, a remarkable ancient monument situated in Stenness, Orkney, Scotland. Taken by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this image showcases the Standing Stones of Stenness, believed to be one of the oldest henge sites in the British Isles. The photograph provides a glimpse into an era long past - the c3rd millennium BC. The Dolmen featured here is actually a 19th-century reconstruction of what was once a significant burial site associated with traditions and rituals. Nestled amidst stunning coastal scenery, this megalithic structure stands as a testament to prehistoric life and rural existence. Located just five miles northeast of Stromness on Orkney's mainland, this historic location holds immense cultural significance. It is designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its rich archaeological heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time - imagining how these ancient stones were erected and pondering their purpose. The surrounding landscape adds depth to our understanding of their placement near the sea or Loch of Stenness. CM Dixon's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of these standing stones and their rustic charm within Scotland's countryside. This print serves as an evocative reminder that history continues to shape our present-day world while honoring those who came before us.
