Volume I · Chapter VII
Under a huge summer sky, the familiar circle of stones made ordinary time feel briefly suspended.
I knew Stonehenge long before I arrived. It had already appeared in books, documentaries and my imagination — but the real place felt quieter and more open than any picture had suggested.
I kept photographing the distance between stone and sky. Somehow that space, as much as the monument itself, was what made the afternoon feel ancient.

“This is not a perfectly posed photo, which is probably why I like it. It feels like the actual day.”

“The scale felt completely different up close. They are much bigger in real life than they look in most pictures.”

“Stonehenge also came with sheep under this lovely tree. An unexpected favourite from the afternoon.”
Sheep, shade and a very good tree nearby.
