EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the talented Thurston Hopkins, takes us back to a momentous dawn ceremony during the Midsummer Rites at Stonehenge in 1956. The image showcases a druid, clad in traditional clothing, participating in an age-old ritual that has been passed down through generations. In this mesmerizing landscape view of England's iconic Stonehenge, we witness the cooperation and unity among males as they come together to celebrate this significant event. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and spirituality as these druids engage in their sacred customs. The photograph not only provides a glimpse into the religious practices of Druidism but also serves as a historical archival piece from the mid-20th century. It transports us to an era where ancient traditions were still cherished amidst modern lifestyles. Thurston Hopkins' skillful use of black and white format adds depth and timelessness to this remarkable scene. With Stonehenge standing tall in the background, it symbolizes both strength and mystery while serving as a powerful backdrop for this profound ceremony. As we gaze upon this single figure immersed in his role within the celebration event, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within our country. This print captures a fleeting moment frozen in time – an enduring testament to human spirituality and our connection with ancient customs.
