EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the remarkable Thornborough Centre, a trio of awe-inspiring Neolithic/early Bronze Age henge monuments nestled in the picturesque Thornborough Moor of North Yorkshire. The image, captured by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2022, offers a unique perspective on these ancient earthworks that have stood the test of time. The three henges, standing almost identical to one another and aligned perfectly in a row, evoke an air of mystery and intrigue. Their sheer size and intricate construction leave viewers marveling at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our prehistoric ancestors. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to a time when these monumental structures played significant roles in rituals or ceremonies that remain shrouded in enigma. The aerial viewpoint allows us to appreciate the vastness and scale of this archaeological wonder. The surrounding landscape is transformed into an ethereal tapestry as sunlight dances across its undulating contours. Nature's embrace further enhances our understanding of how these henges were carefully integrated into their environment. Damian Grady's expertly composed photograph not only captures the essence but also preserves the legacy of Thornborough Centre for generations to come. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about our past and reminds us that even amidst modernity, there are still hidden treasures waiting to be discovered beneath layers of history.
