EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Eleanor Scriven showcases the timeless beauty of "The Central Stones" in the Neolithic stone circle known as the Stones of Stenness. With a history dating back 5000 years, these standing stones have earned their place on UNESCO's prestigious list. Located in the picturesque Orkney Islands of Scotland, this travel destination is a must-visit for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. In this color image, we see the majestic standing stones against an overcast sky, creating an atmosphere that transports us to another era. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur and significance of these ancient structures. As we gaze upon them, weathered by time yet still standing strong, we are reminded of our connection to prehistoric times and our collective human story. Set amidst a vast field, these stones serve as silent witnesses to centuries gone by. Their presence evokes curiosity about their purpose and symbolism during the Stone Age. This photograph captures not only their physical beauty but also invites contemplation about our own place in history. With its rich historical background and stunning natural surroundings, it's no wonder that this tourist destination attracts visitors from all over Europe and beyond. Eleanor Scriven has masterfully captured its essence in this horizontal composition – a testament to her skill as a photographer and her ability to transport viewers into different worlds through her lens.
