EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures a mesmerizing moment in the night sky over Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain. As stars twinkle above, a radiant meteor streaks through the darkness, leaving behind a trail of celestial magic. Taken during the Perseid meteor shower in August 2010, this image showcases the power and beauty of nature's cosmic spectacle. The composition is central and symmetrical, highlighting the iconic British landmark against an open space backdrop. The serene atmosphere adds to the enchantment of this rural landscape as it becomes illuminated by the fleeting presence of shooting stars. Using a long exposure technique, photographer Kieran Doherty skillfully captures multiple elements in one frame - from the historic stone structure to the vast expanse of starry skies. The red hues on the horizon line add depth and contrast to this picturesque scene. This photograph not only celebrates our connection with nature but also reminds us of our place within it. It serves as a reminder that even amidst ancient wonders like Stonehenge, we are mere spectators to the grandeur and mystery unfolding above us. With its captivating beauty and creative use of light, this image transports viewers into an awe-inspiring world where time stands still and dreams take flight. A true testament to both human ingenuity behind capturing such moments and Mother Nature's ability to leave us spellbound with her celestial displays.
