EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when a partial solar eclipse graced the skies above Stonehenge in south west England on March 20,2015. Taken from a low angle view, the image showcases the magnificent shine of the sun as it peeks through the dark silhouette of Stonehenge's ancient stones. The moon, in its celestial dance with our star, creates a unique and mesmerizing phase that bathes this prehistoric architectural wonder in an enchanting darkness. The composition is enhanced by dramatic clouds that add depth to the picture-perfect scene. This natural phenomenon, witnessed without any human presence, highlights both the picturesque beauty and mysterious ambiance surrounding Stonehenge. As day turns into night during this extraordinary event, one cannot help but marvel at how seamlessly nature blends with history. Kieran Doherty's creative use of lighting and perspective transports viewers into an otherworldly atmosphere where time seems to stand still. With no commercial intentions behind this photograph, it serves as a testament to Earth's remarkable environment and its ability to create breathtaking spectacles like eclipses. This stunning visual reminder invites us all to appreciate our place within the vast universe while contemplating humanity's enduring connection with ancient civilizations such as those who built Stonehenge thousands of years ago.
