EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing sight of Four Barrows, a collection of prehistoric round barrows nestled near Aldbourne in Wiltshire. Taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady in February 2013, this aerial shot offers a unique perspective on these ancient earthworks that hold immense archaeological significance. The image beautifully captures the undulating landscape adorned with four distinct mounds, each representing an individual burial site from the Bronze Age. These barrows stand as silent witnesses to a long-forgotten era, where our ancestors paid homage to their departed loved ones. With meticulous attention to detail, Grady's photograph highlights not only the grandeur of these historic structures but also their strategic placement within the surrounding countryside. The composition allows viewers to appreciate how these barrows were carefully positioned to harmonize with nature and honor those laid to rest within them. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back in time and reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with its past. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to preserve and protect such invaluable heritage sites for future generations.
