EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the enchanting Cissbury Ring, nestled in the picturesque South Downs of West Sussex. As we gaze upon this dark and mysterious landscape, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent Iron Age hill fort that dominates the scene.
The composition beautifully captures the essence of this ancient site, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. The rolling hills create a dramatic backdrop, shrouded in shadows that add an air of intrigue to the image. The play between light and darkness enhances our perception of timelessness, reminding us of the rich history that lies within these very grounds.
Cissbury Ring stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience from over 2,000 years ago. Its imposing presence on top of this hill is a reminder of its strategic importance during those times. As we peer into its depths through this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves transported back in time – witnessing daily life within its protective walls or perhaps even catching glimpses of long-forgotten rituals.
James O. Davies has skillfully captured not just an image but also a feeling; one that resonates with anyone who appreciates both natural beauty and historical significance. This print serves as a window into our past – inviting us to explore and learn more about the fascinating story behind Cissbury Ring.
As we admire this artwork, let us appreciate not only James O. Davies' talent for capturing such breathtaking scenes but also Historic England's dedication to preserving our heritage for generations to come.
