EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the mesmerizing beauty of Fovant Badges and Chiselbury Camp Univallate Hillfort, located in the picturesque region of Fovant Down, Wiltshire. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2015, this stunning print showcases a remarkable hill figure that has stood the test of time. The image reveals an intricate earthwork design meticulously carved into the landscape, forming what is famously known as the Fovant Badges. These badges were created during World War I by soldiers stationed at nearby military camps as a way to boost morale and leave their mark on history. From afar, these badges appear like delicate brushstrokes against a vast canvas of greenery. In addition to capturing this unique hill figure, Grady's lens also encompasses the grandeur of Chiselbury Camp Univallate Hillfort. This ancient fortification stands proudly atop Fovant Down, its circular shape hinting at centuries-old tales and battles fought long ago. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness both natural and man-made wonders coexisting harmoniously. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and the enduring spirit that resides within us all. Damian Grady's masterful composition allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the sheer magnificence of these landmarks from an entirely new perspective.
