Stonehenge

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in the English county of Wiltshire. One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists believe the standing stones were erected around 2200 BC and the surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC.

Stonehenge belongs to the following groups:

stunning, dramatic capture & treatment of a spiritual magnet that’s been shot to death. Great job.

Thank you both shawhouse and Lexie for your great comments and favourites… and yes this has been shot to death, so I hope I caught something at least a little different!
Deborah Parkin, 8 months ago

this is fantastic – you have really created the spriritual feel of the place – the magnitude of it. I love the treatment – the tones are wonderful – the clouds dramatic and love the burning at the bottom – first class work Paul :)
Dave Sandersfeld, 8 months ago

I love the somber dark feling of this accentuated by the lighter clouds. well done Tugman!

What do you know about ‘dolmens”? Irish Bubbler Shay Larkin and I have been exploring this arena of ancient Celtic structures. Shay said what I found in Oregon is a “dolmen!”

This Oregon dolmen has a wonderful view of the winter solstice it appears – I and Oregon State University archaeologists will be there Dec. 20-21 to find out. Do you have any insights on Dolmens’ since you seem to be in an area that may contain Celtic structures?

i’ll email you photo if interested?

Beautiful shot. Great starkness and glowing clouds. I agree with the other commenter…this is grade A. This needs to be featured on the RedBubble page.

Driven past this monument so many times! This is a great atmospheric shot. really cool dramatic skyline and definate sense of mystery created by the almost silhoetted stones. This would make a great print.
Paul Tupman, 8 months ago

Cheers Matt for that.. you should get out one day with your camera and stop driving by.. ;-)
