EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the mesmerizing Thornborough Centre, a remarkable Neolithic/early Bronze Age henge monument nestled on the enchanting Thornborough Moor in North Yorkshire. The image showcases one of three nearly identical henges meticulously aligned in a row, each exuding an air of ancient mystery and wonder. The intricate earthwork formations depicted here are testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our prehistoric ancestors. These monumental structures, dating back thousands of years, continue to astound archaeologists and historians alike with their sheer scale and precision. From this vantage point above the landscape, we gain a unique perspective on the vastness of these henges. The circular enclosures surrounded by deep ditches create an otherworldly sight against the backdrop of lush greenery. It is as if time has stood still within these sacred grounds. Damian Grady's expert lens beautifully captures every detail - from the carefully constructed embankments to the perfectly carved entrances that beckon us into another era. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a poignant reminder of our rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this extraordinary scene, let us reflect on how these ancient monuments have endured through countless generations, preserving stories untold and connecting us to our distant past. They stand as silent witnesses to humanity's enduring quest for meaning and understanding in an ever-changing world.
