EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Castlerigg Stone Circle - A Neolithic Silhouette Against the Cumbrian Fells Castlerigg Stone Circle, located three miles east of Keswick in Cumbria, England, is a captivating prehistoric monument that transports us back in time to the Neolithic period, around 3000 BC. This evocative photograph, taken between 22nd December 1953 and 7th January 1954 by John Gay, showcases the mystical allure of this ancient site. The image presents a breathtaking silhouette of some of the standing stones that make up Castlerigg Stone Circle, their monolithic forms standing proud against the backdrop of the Cumbrian fells. The sky above is a canvas of ever-changing hues, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The Castlerigg Stone Circle is one of the oldest and best-known stone circles in the UK. Its precise alignment with the midwinter solstice sunrise and the equinoxes suggests that it was an important place for Neolithic people to gather and celebrate the changing seasons. The stones, some of which are over 3,000 years old, have weathered the test of time, standing tall and proud amidst the rugged landscape. The circle's proximity to the fells and the surrounding countryside only adds to its enchanting allure, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a glimpse into the past. This photograph by John Gay not only captures the essence of this ancient monument but also invites us to ponder the mysteries of the past and the awe-inspiring connection between the people of the Neolithic period and the natural world.
