EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of Thornborough Henges and Centre Hill round barrow in North Yorkshire. Taken by the talented photographer Dave MacLeod, this print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient history that has withstood the test of time. The image reveals three massive henges, circular earthwork structures that date back thousands of years. These henges are believed to have been constructed during the Neolithic period and were likely used for ceremonial or religious purposes. The precision and scale at which they were built is truly awe-inspiring, leaving viewers marveling at the ingenuity and skill of our ancestors. In addition to the henges, we can also see Centre Hill round barrow in the foreground. This burial mound adds an air of mystery to the scene, hinting at untold stories from a distant past. The composition and perspective captured in this print offer a unique vantage point rarely seen by most visitors to Thornborough Henges. From above, we gain a new appreciation for their grandeur and significance within our cultural heritage. Dave MacLeod's expertly crafted photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in this ancient landscape, inviting us on a journey through time. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed, these archaeological wonders continue to captivate our imagination while preserving an important part of human history.
