Taken in 2015 by talented photographer Dave MacLeod, this print showcases the remarkable progress made during this ambitious project. From a bird's-eye view, we are presented with an expansive enclosure where skilled workers diligently shape the landscape to accommodate this new road network. The soilmarks left behind tell a story of meticulous excavation as they reveal layers upon layers of earthwork that were carefully maneuvered to create a solid foundation for this modern infrastructure. As our gaze follows the path of construction, we can observe how it gracefully navigates through ancient ridge and furrow patterns etched into the land over centuries past. This juxtaposition between old and new is truly awe-inspiring and serves as a reminder of our ability to adapt while respecting history. The attention to detail evident in every aspect of these construction works is astounding. Every mound meticulously sculpted, every trench strategically dug - all contributing towards creating an efficient transportation system that will benefit countless individuals for years to come. Dave MacLeod's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the magnitude but also the artistry involved in such large-scale projects. It invites us to marvel at human ingenuity and perseverance as we witness progress unfold before our eyes.
