EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the mystical allure of Stonehenge during the Summer Solstice sunrise. Taken by renowned photographer James Davies for Historic England, this image offers a mesmerizing close-up view of the ancient Neolithic monument in Wiltshire, England. The haunting silhouettes of the massive stones stand proud against the backdrop of the darkened sky, their long shadows stretching out like ancient fingers reaching for the horizon. The prehistoric site, believed to have been constructed around 3000 BC, is a testament to the engineering prowess and spiritual beliefs of our Neolithic ancestors. The Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, holds significant cultural and spiritual importance for many ancient civilizations, making this moment a particularly poignant and powerful time to capture the essence of Stonehenge. The ethereal quality of the early morning light adds an otherworldly dimension to the scene, transporting us back in time to a place of wonder and awe. This image is a reminder of the enduring allure of our past and the deep connection we share with the ancient world.
