Stonehenge Hidden in Lake

Stonehenge Hidden in Lake portrays an enigmatic and hidden scene that leaves the viewer asking questions. Containing elements of light and shadow, the artwork plays upon their tension to create a deeply layered yet subtle sense of atmosphere.

The very word stonehenge - is it not too bold in the title of this little picture?
Scandinavian landscapes

The inspiration for this piece comes from rocky Scandinavian landscapes. Indeed, anyone who has visited this part of Europe at least once knows that each of the Scandinavian countries has many lakes surrounded by rocky coastlines. Furthermore, forests grow on this hard, seemingly inhospitable soil. In addition, trees lean over the shores. Notably, the pine trees show that they can find a place to grow even on the bare rocks themselves.

Consequently, they wrap their roots around them, cling tenaciously to this substrate, and withstand strong winds and blizzards.

Moreover, the bottom of the lake is also stony. At the shores, where it is not yet too deep, the rocky, uneven surface of the bottom can be seen. In some lakes, for instance, archipelagos of small stone islands are visible creating rocky horizon. They look like the tops of a sunken mysterious circle of Stonehenge, thereby creating a kind of Stonehenge gallery.

Ultimately, they stimulate the imagination.

Where is Stonehenge

One can imagine, indeed, the people who were here before us. Perhaps, in fact, the landscape of this place looked different. Additionally, maybe there was an important place of worship here, where the lake at Stonehenge is located.

Moreover, who was involved in the creation of Stonehenge?

Perhaps, as some suggest, the whole community of people who lived there at the time? Furthermore, the grouping of huge stones in one place according to a planned design—this is work not for a few people, but rather for many. Ultimately, the sight of this rock architecture raises many questions to which we do not know the answers and may, unfortunately, never know them.
