EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the essence of history and mystery intertwined within the ancient earthwork known as Jennys Lantern. Located in Northumberland, this Iron Age multivallate hillfort stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. The intricate patterns formed by its concentric rings are beautifully highlighted from above, showcasing the sheer scale and complexity of this archaeological marvel. As sunlight dances upon the weathered stones, one cannot help but be transported back in time to an era when this hillfort was bustling with life and activity. Its strategic location atop a hill provided both protection and vantage point for its inhabitants, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The photographer's keen eye has captured every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate not only the grandeur of Jennys Lantern but also its significance in understanding our past. Each line etched into the earth tells a story waiting to be unraveled by archaeologists and historians alike. This print serves as a reminder that our heritage is not just confined within museum walls; it lives on through these remarkable remnants scattered across our land. It invites us to explore further, delve deeper into our shared history, and marvel at how human resilience shaped landscapes long before modern civilization took hold. Dave MacLeod's skillful lens has immortalized Jennys Lantern in all its glory - an evocative piece that transports us beyond time itself.
