EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "New King Barrows DP136305" captures the ethereal beauty of Stonehenge's New King Barrows in Amesbury, Wiltshire. Covered in a pristine blanket of snow, these ancient burial mounds stand as silent witnesses to prehistoric times. In this winter scene, James O. Davies skillfully portrays the cold and desolate atmosphere surrounding these barrows. The soft glow of sunlight filtering through the icy clouds casts an enchanting light on the snow-covered landscape. Each individual mound is meticulously captured, showcasing their unique shapes and sizes against the wintry backdrop. These barrows hold great historical significance as they represent our ancestors' reverence for their departed loved ones. Dating back thousands of years, they serve as a testament to human existence long before modern civilization took shape. Standing amidst this snowy setting evokes a sense of awe and wonder at how our predecessors honored their dead in such harsh conditions. Davies' photographic artistry transports us back in time while reminding us that nature's elements can transform even the most enduring structures into something magical and otherworldly. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both our shared history and the resilience of those who came before us. As we gaze upon this photograph, let it be a gentle nudge to appreciate not only our past but also the ever-changing beauty that surrounds us today – whether it be under snow or bathed in warm sunshine.
