EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of Stonehenge, taken by photographer Ethel Davies in 2010, showcases the timeless beauty and historical significance of this preeminent prehistoric monument. Situated on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is believed to have been constructed between 3000 and 2000 BC, making it an intriguing relic of Neolithic and Early Bronze Age civilizations. The monument, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our ancient ancestors. The colossal stones, some weighing up to 50 tons, were transported from various locations and erected in a circular arrangement, with each stone standing up to 13 feet high. The exact purpose of Stonehenge remains a mystery, with theories suggesting it may have served as a burial ground, a sacred site for religious rituals, or an astronomical observatory. Regardless of its original function, Stonehenge continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its enduring allure and to connect with the rich history of their ancestors. Ethel Davies' vivid and colorful photograph, taken in the 21st century, offers a striking contrast to the ancient stones and the vast expanse of the Salisbury Plain. This image not only preserves the essence of Stonehenge but also invites us to contemplate the passage of time and the enduring legacy of our past.
