EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer solstice of 1959, where a group of druids gather at the mystical Stonehenge in Wiltshire. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the grandeur and significance of this ancient stone circle, which has stood for thousands of years as a testament to human ingenuity and spirituality. The image captures the essence of both the neolithic and bronze age eras, with its towering stones arranged meticulously on Salisbury Plain. As we gaze upon this scene, it is impossible not to be filled with wonder about how these massive stones were transported and erected by our ancestors so long ago. Intriguingly, amidst this awe-inspiring landscape are people dressed as druids - figures who have become synonymous with ancient rituals and mysticism. They stand together in contemplation, their presence adding an air of reverence and mystery to an already enigmatic site. This photograph from Historic England's Aerofilms Collection serves as a powerful reminder that Stonehenge continues to captivate our imagination even today. It symbolizes our enduring fascination with history, archaeology, and the spiritual connection between humans and nature. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on the countless generations that have passed through these sacred grounds before us. May it inspire us to seek deeper understanding about our past while also nurturing respect for those who came before us.
